So that impressionable idiots will believe and tell their friends, thus ending up looking like a damned fool. Or something along those lines anyway.

Re: What do you think of this
You deconstructionists are all the same. It's all blow up this and return to that and spin around in circles but sooner or later you feel dizzy and ill and have to sit down and then you're grateful for the chairs aren't you? You make me sick.

This reminds me of the film 'π'.(pi)
Just where he talks about if you look hard enough you can find any pattern you want.
It's also the same crap from The Da Vinci Code.
