Normally, I admire Chomsky, but this seems like a version of "if you won't educate me, how can I learn": http://www.derailingfordummies.com/derail-using-education/

Put in plain words, the point of Derrida is "there's no such thing as plain words". So the task which Noam Chomsky is setting before deconstructionists is not only onerous and a waste of their time, it is -- fundamentally, according to deconstructionist thought -- impossible.

It's like trying to grok zen. You either get it or you don't.

Reminds me of the parable of the Emperor And His New Clothes.

All the smart people who understand math, physics, chemistry, and biology are just too dumb to understand this wonderful new science. And those that understand this wonderful new science can't actually produce anything useful.
