Dangerous indeed! Who wants to control the meaning of words, anyway?!

I always like your posts, they are a good combination of deep analysis, humor and a story about you. I like to read people that write well (and I am sorry for my far less expressive English!)
Reading your conclusions, I wondered if we will have again the idea of “transparency” in literary criticism. That is something I feel not very enthusiastic regarding the use of computers for critical reading. If we think that literature is only a sum of words… I think that we are coming back to old ideas, like searching for a clear message in a story, or trying to find the exact meaning of things through exact tools. I think it is, as you say, “dangerous”.
