You cannot logically assert that something is unknowable just because it is currently unknown. "At this point" is true, certainly, but at one point we didn't understand that emotion was felt in the brain, not the heart or the liver. We didn't learn that truth from deconstruction of language, either.

What about science behaves ideologically? It's like calling baseball an ideology, the simple fact an abstract idea consists of agreed-upon rules doesn't make something an ideology.
