However, it is distinguished from many other STS and sociological network theories for its distinct material-semiotic approach.

This reads to me bit like Baudrillard's general points (he took a semiotic view on this phenomenon).

In this sense the general problem is, as another poster phrased it so well, semiotic rather than epistemic or even logical.

These are the kinds of thoughts I could only expect from someone who only encounters bad semiotic practice.
