I believe this criticism is answered here: "Of course, such thinking, endorsed by no one beyond the world of technology, would be of limited force. But the technologist worldview has become widely influential."
No one's listening to recovering alcoholics outside of AA and maybe their families. Schwarzenegger, Reagan, Borge, Lehrer—these are all individuals, influential in their own way, but not commanding entire social movements with uncritical followings. (Well, maybe Reagan did/does.)
