Well, gee, it seems that a lot of the same sort of talk is used by 
non-Pynchonites to describe us--or to dismiss TRP (especially the wowing and 
excluding parts).  And you know, I think it's those nasty French 
philosophers who thought up that bogus critical language just to spite 
Anglo-Saxons.  Amazing that specialists should talk in specialized language. 
Good thing doctors, physicists, and computer geeks don't start coining their 
own terms for complex phenomena, or we'll all be in the soup. 
Dioxyribonucleic acid?  Why not just "gene stuff"?
