If I understand you right my answer is this:  I tend to lose a bit of
respect for a theorist who won't take some sort of responsibility for those
putting of his theories into practice.

Lawrence: Since [Fukuyama's] End of History is theory I can't insist that a
policy I think logically follows from it ought to have his blessing.  He
intended it to be a prediction of the future and never intended it to be
policy that should be implemented.

 

Simon asks: What are the possible policy implications of a theoretical
tendancy?
