For Randall, the critique of empty scholastic debates (Baisecul and Humevesne, Thaumaste and Panurge) is not based on the realization that no universal truths can be attained through linguistic and non-linguistic representation; instead, patient investigation of what unites conventional languages beyond their differences might reveal something like a natural language or law.
The Thaumaste episode, Gauna avers, exemplifies Rabelais's semi-sympathetic struggle with the magus tradition he will later espouse.
