I agree.  I am not defending postmodernism or deconstructionism.

But remember he was talking about a cyberspace engineering conference, not a
postmodernism conference.  Some of US might have been at that conference!
Imagine if he showed up to a WTA conference or an ExI conference about
cyberspace and claimed that we were all deconstructionists with no
understanding of technical matters.  

I would find that hard to believe.
