(Several more paragraphs of gobbledegook elided.)

Huh? You've apparently strung together some buzzwords and then run
your text through a Lex-based "rant generator." (If "Koopman" is
actually an AI experiment, I'm impressed.)

In fact, while I dislike criticizing the writings of others here on
our Pynchon list, I am finding Koopman's postings to be nonsensical,
and devoid of any understandable content. I haven't seen him write a
single, straightforward line.

Your mileage my vary, but he's a hundred light-years beyond Pynchon's
most difficult passages. With Pynchon, close rereading is often
rewarding, but I'm convinced it's pointless in Koopman's case.

Sorry to get personal, but the rants are just plain unintelligible.
