Well, this reviewer certainly has demonstrated his or her bias on the subject of experimental psychology. No agreement on effects or principles? Might want to check out some textbooks on cognitive psychology or learning and memory. I also suggest that he or she read these articles:

Years ago, I criticized arm chair philosophy--what the reviewer calls "language based analytic philosophy"--on the grounds that it cannot be calibrated, is subject to order effects (in considering linguistic or other intuitions), and to selection effects. This reviewers wants to select against your paper on the grounds that it does not employ a discredited methodology.
