Ron,  

Why don't you explain how you understand the contradiction.

Well, for starters, this quote tends to say it all...

"From a centrists perspective, ontological absolutism is based on the mental 
distortion known as reification."

Meaning, that from a pragmatic point of view

"  As theory is not purely determined by some intrinsic nature of 
> reality, there is no one conceptual system that uniquely accounts for the 
>myriad 
>
> of natural phenomena"
 
you are taking a position of an ontological absolutism when you assert that the 
mental
distortion known as reification IS the basis of all conception. This assertion 
demands that
there is only one conceptual system that uniquely accounts for the myriad of 
natural
phenomena contending that salvation from it is the subdueing or "killing" of it.
Wallace talks about reification as a "tendancy".
 
This is the difference I see between yours and Wallaces point of view regarding 
reification.
