Meta-theoretical questions have an air of undecidability about them and this explains the inconclusive arguments concerning paradigm incommensurability among organizational theorists.
This process of abstract reasoning is inconclusive, since there is no ultimate conceptual common ground upon which we may stand to make paradigmatic comparisons (MacIntyre 1985: ch. 2)-hence incommensurability (Burrell and Morgan 1979; Burrell 1996; Jackson and Carter 1991; Scherer and Steinmann 1999: 525; Tsoukas 1994).
Indeed, most of the debate on incommensurability in OT could be seen in that light-an excessive preoccupation with our own practice rather than with the practice of those we study.
We learn more about new research agendas and cross-paradigmatic exchange by looking at what OT practitioners do rather than by hypostastizing paradigms and then getting ourselves caught into conceptual traps regarding paradigmatic 'incommensurability'.
Paradigms appear incommensurable only to an observer who, seeking in abstracto a neutral set of 'translation rules', cannot find any and proclaims that, well, there aren't any (Burrell 1996: 650).
