This model of administrative arguments allowed H&J to make three key points about New Public Management, directed mainly to colleagues in academic public administration in the UK and Australia, many of whom at the time dismissed ascendant approaches to public management in their countries. First, they characterized New Public Management as a point of view about organizational design in government. As a point of view, New Public Management was described neither as a theory of administration nor as an ad hoc collection of thoughts about public management. Second, and relatedly, H&J (and especially Hood 1991) argued that New Public Management was not utterly lacking in substance, since sigma-type values are plausible warrants for administrative doctrines. Third, H&J pointed out that a reasonable person might reject New Public Management on the grounds that theta-type values of honesty and fairness, for instance, should be given priority over the sigma-type values of efficient task performance. In this way, the authors sought to enlarge the space for critical discussion (Walton 1992) of the New Public Management
