In a piece which may be in line for publication I wrote: " There are extensive compositions of words which
relate to nothing but themselves, that pretend to analyze but analyze
nothing, being used to analyze reality based problems in a detached
free-floating analysis that is attached to nothing." I suspect the babble in the above is either an analytical system attached to nothing but itself or the author is in such a state of confusion that his statements are too vague to be comprehended.

I expect that the writer has an education which provides him and his colleagues a context and heuristic for the words he uses --even the order in which he uses them.

Actually I get a charge out of the Post-Modernist "arguments", and they are not that complicated. They always sound like a parody, but are supposed to be serious.

Just read the thing again. It is funny. What a doofus.

Sorry. You're too late. The technique of obfuscating the fact that you are obfuscating is SOP for grant writers, educators, bureaucrats, resume writers, and NGO's. ;>
