An understandable effort at thread subsumption.  Though, in reality, I'm quite
certain that more than mere "miscommunication" led to several jets, multiple
explosions, and multiple deaths . . . . .

I think this is really key.  This list drifts into fatuous ramblings over
everything from grins to glossalalia, and any self-aggrandized notion of
relevance for the wide-sweeping efforts at a theory of human everything in

to the point in today's aftermath.
