 Moving from acceptance of empiricism to an understanding of its limitations , Christopher Tilley emphasizes in his comments on " scientific archeology " that Pound 's student " was not simply learning about ' reality ' , the sunfish , but a way of approaching that reality – a discourse bound up in a particular thought tradition ( empiricism ) " . Robert Scholes reaches a similar conclusion , noting that the student " seems to be reporting about a real and solid world in a perfectly transparent language , but actually he is learning how to produce a specific kind of discourse , controlled by a particular scientific paradigm " .
