Well, really, if you also want an explanation of the Samuel Butler flourish, you may have to go back a good deal further.
These things always make better sense in context. There's always a narrative explanation. Trouble is, though, that narratives take time to absorb, and everyone's in a hurry. In this case, you probably have to go back as far as the Summer of Love. Too far for most people.
