    The reason they are wise is because anyone can project their own meaning onto them. They have a universality that makes them immediately accessible to smart and dumb alike. Meaning is not a universal constant to which there is a singular authority.

    How the hell did the quantify what as bullshit and not? Plenty of worthwhile statements out of context become bullshit. Also interesting they did no comparison with marketing language.
