The point is not "description." Scientific knowledge, like all
knowledge, is a means to *grasp* ("comprehend") the world--and as Marx
and Hegel insisted, knowledge is manifest only in practice. Does EP
generate testable predictions? Does EP advance our *practical*
knowledge of human nature? Thems the only questions that matter.
