6. Such a conflation, if warranted, would be hard to argue for. It is doubtful that theorists whose prose has been held up to ridicule for its stylistic defects would welcome it, because then their work could only be judged as poetry.

10. Boolos is admittedly an exception to this. He does invite others to penetrate the mysteries of Gödel while calling attention to his own cleverness.
