Any ideas on the scale of this passage?

I wasn't able to see "two" sides of an argument, but rather just the author acknowledging Haraway's writing style in the book. Did anyone come up with two sides??

This is definitely a rare passage in that it's essentially descriptive.The author is describing all the ways in which Haraway is a renegade, though he/she does reveal a (mild) opinion in the last paragraph that some readers may find her ideas hard to accept. I'd say the "scale" in this case is heavily on the side of "Haraway's writing challenges traditional approaches to the history of science," and the other side is just a question mark.

The scale is heavily one sided towards Hathaway, but since this is the "new way of seeing something" passage isn't the old side the other side of the scale? There isn't much to it but it is in it there, even if it's 90-10 scale? She attacks the old way for being outdated but at the end the author does have to make a slight concession.
