As far as George Lakoff, and by the same token Chomsky, is concerned Pinker's rebuttal of his giant predecessors is tantamount to pointless semantic hairsplitting and in the chapter called "The Metaphor Metaphor" (indeed a very telling title!), from The Stuff of Thought, he even doesn't manage to refute Lakoff's trailblazing work!
