Your adoption of a vague, hand-wavey, nonsensical tone as a performative critique of the article was not lost on me, well done. Comments like this show the true potential of the comment section as a media for critical discourse. It seems commentors often forget the style of their words can carry forward an argument just as well as the content. Again, well done. I've taken this as inspiration and a challenge to be more thoughtful and creative with the style of my arguments.

Either this is satire, or you've completely missed his point. There is little-to-no hand wavyness in the response; He flat out describes the article as pretentious, bloviating non-sense.
