He probably brought his usage closer to what we'd find in the
vernacular, but then embedded it in his hypertext juggernaut (actually
more a torpedo, aimed at "philosophy as we know it in the west" i.e.

Or without rhyme or reason? Probably reason is more dispensable than
rhyme, as evidenced by these AI-bot servers for generating BS academic

Tests (AI, meet AI, aka Yes Men).
