It doesn't matter which side is Plato's, blame isn't interesting, and I don't care much about the specific featherless biped behind the ideas. But you can't debate against a "dynamic space to think in". If there are opposing ideas presented with apparent perfect chin-stroking balance then it's fair to attack whichever one you like least, as if it was being given credibility, because it is.
