Collins, Evans, and Reyes-Galindo develop the concept of interactional expertise into the idea of virtual diversity. They thereby provide a strong case against the epistemic barriers established by identity politics. This commentary questions, however, whether virtual diversity can incorporate the critique of institutional power that Wynne has argued is at the center of tensions between lay publics and scientific establishments. The commentary argues for a critical theory of science, as suggested by Doppelt on the basis of his normative interpretation of Kuhnian incommensurability.
柯林斯、埃文斯和雷耶斯-加林多将互动专长的概念发展为虚拟多样性的概念。他们由此有力地反驳了身份政治所造成的认知障碍。然而，这篇评论质疑虚拟多样性是否能够纳入对制度权力的批判，而怀恩认为这种批判是公众与科学机构之间紧张关系的核心。这篇评论主张建立一种科学批判理论，正如多佩尔特基于对库恩不可通约性的规范性解释所建议的那样。
