Oh, goodness, yes! This is the most pernicious and destructive flaw I've seen in CRT--and it goes all the way back to Horkheimer's "Traditional and Critical Theory" paper, where he lauds the scientific method and then throws it under the bus by abandoning the philosophy of science, the methodology of science, the impartiality of the experimenter (instead placing activism for justice), and embracing a postmodernesque denial that people can really even adequately understand each other (all apparently without realizing that he's just butchered his epistemology to the point of no return).

In contrast, if you take something like systems biology--which takes the same kind of approach of looking at all factors and considering not just the particular but the system in which it is embedded--you have an enhanced commitment to sound epistemology.

We can have all the insights from CRT and more, and have them be more highly reliable, without the weird historical baggage.
