Despite minoring in philosophy, I fail to see how one can expect anything but a victory for empiricism.
I'm reminded of David Hume's justification for the continued use of induction despite no solid theoretical justification for its correctness: we are creatures of empiricism and it is in our very nature to believe in that which works. For all the criticism, I do not often find people criticizing the effectiveness of empiricism.

The problem with anyone who majored in philosophy is that they will switch between big-D and little-D while expecting everyone around them to code switch at the same pace. This is also true for any given smartass who never gave a flying fuck about Derrida.
