And though he may in some cases account in some way for the social facts in terms of the interaction of individual decisions with prior ‘social facts,’ any attempt to eliminate these altogether will only lead to a regress and possibly to an irrelevant genetic question of the hen-and-egg kind.

My arguments against the Principle are quite independent of any such possibility.
