Analog,
I take for granted that you are well meaning.
I cannot argue with you about your ideas on perfection because, truly, I cannot understand what you are saying. Your language is very dense and your method of expression very complicated.
Somewhere on this forum, David Quinn posted a link to something he wrote about academics. I don't always agree with every word David writes but this is a good piece. Have you read it?
I do not intend to say that you are a pompous fool like these people David described. I think you are well meaning and in earnest.
You just may want to clarify your sentences. Clarifying is not "dumbing down." It is learning to define yourself and your thoughts by asking yourself as you write, "What do I mean by that?"
The best writing is that which can be understood easily by nearly anyone. Good writing is not complexity of language but solidity and richness of ideas.
It is my hope that you will not take this as critcism. I don't mean it as critcism. I simply would like to clearly understand what you are trying to express.
Thanks.
Faizi
