Wilson (2015) :

“The examples of accounting methods, perspectives, and languages make it easy to understand how different configurations of thought can be different but worthy of coexistence, and how they can be, but need not be, incommensurate.”

''“Each [theory] can be insightful in the same way as multiple accounting systems, perspectives, and languages outside of science. They therefore deserve to coexist, but for this kind of equivalence to be productive, it is essential for users of the theories to be appropriately multilingual. Otherwise, equivalent paradigms will be pitted pointlessly against each other”''
