I guess my work is not so well known and I guess I have some
responsibility in this.
You must realize, for example, that comp is the favorite explicit or
implicit hypothesis of the weak materialist (which believes that
primary matter exists, or that matter exists primitively).
I can understand they does not like the idea that comp and weak
materialism are (epistemologically) incompatible. Atheist are mad at
it.
I have underestimate the influence of aristotelism on the (weak or not)
materialists.
