Full Idea
The principle of compositionality is more popular among philosophers of logic than of language, because the subtle context-sensitivity or ordinary language makes providing a compositional semantics for it a daunting challenge.
Gist of Idea
Compositionality is more welcome in logic than in linguistics (which is more contextual)

A Reaction
Logicians love breaking complex entities down into simple atomic parts. Linguistics tries to pin down something much more elusive.
