It is tradecraft language from a different area. Just like most HN discussions sound utterly alien to outsiders. Sociology, Philosophy, Economics, CS ... all

  Tradecraft from another area? Paul Graham, at least, has his doubts about that: http://www.paulgraham.com/copy.html http://www.paulgraham.com/copy.html .

    If you have no interest in what's being said, nor anything to say, then we can all agree it's not in your interests to bother with a trade language. The discussion here is pretty clear evidence that something has been said. You may find it unnecessarily obtuse from a layman's perspective, but so is any legal contract, math textbook, or CS theory article. Trade languages exist for a reason.

      "Myriad ways" is still windy pompousness.
