    I can detect the clank of using big words to seem smart. Could one embody this in sw? Would be amusing to apply to "critical theory."

        @cjgbest I'd have to create corpora first. That would be painful.

        @paulg I've seen this behavior; once had colleague that made his code purposefully obtuse. No one else could follow the logic or support it.

        @krmarko By embodied in I didn't mean applied to, though it would be fascinating (and possibly even valuable) if it worked for sw as well.

        @paulg Which are great for the strict sense of grammatical corrections. Tho the evolving AI angle to a sw (look at me go!) is interesting...

        @gilhe @paulg it seems like the trope of people thinking something is "obvious" (esp tech&companies) only after they've seen it

        @gilhe @paulg the solution, when opinion is all that matters, is to be permanently incomprehensible so you're never "obvious"!
