[Richard Zander]

The contribution below is an example of "snipping" in postmodern writing.
Little bits of previously published papers are taken and glued together into
a delightfully incomprehensible science-like paper. The point (of postmodern
thought) is that all science is a pastiche of previously published work, and
there is no real progress. This is to be enjoyed, not understood.
