Lazarsfeld charged Adorno with logical sloppiness and uninformed empiricism

Evidence

I. You don’t exhaust the logical alternatives of your own statements and as a result much of what you say is either wrong or unfounded or biased. II. You are uninformed about empirical research work but you write about it in authoritative language, so that the reader is forced to doubt your authority in your own musical field. III. You attack other people as fetishist, neurotic and sloppy but you show yourself the same traits very clearly. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1008
