With respect to Don Mikulecky's skepticism,

perhaps it is time to recollect Paul Feyerabend's arguments
that "=E4nythging goes in science" iff it ultimately leads to explanations,
&/or predictions &/or heuristics
which others in some scientific &/or technical community find helpful.

It really is not worth criticising memetics until we chave seen what it can
yield for us, probably a decade of
work is needed.
