I think you're being charitable here, I suspect a lot of people with PhDs in education who cited Mind and Society in their thesis haven't even read it, let alone technical reports. And if you read what I said, I wasn't having a go at Vygotsky. I was having a go at most of the people who cite him (which implies they read his work, but I often suspect they didn't). If you want to disagree with me, fine, but I'm saying that teaching is largely taught in academia in a kind of continental philosophy approach in the anglosphere, which means that Vygotsky is largely treated in academia as fodder for that.
