to go to classic texts and say these must be the culture, have been criticized so heavily, I can't think of a serious instance of it at the moment.

I think you are pointing to the basic problem I have with "Social Science" today, it's epistemology. Nobody wants to define their terms. If anyone tries, they get the "Tall Poppy" treatment. You can't get to first base in the hard sciences without defining your terms, but everyone assumes it is "OK" for the soft sciences. That certainly makes it convenient to chatter on and on in Social "Science."
