If the point of that generator is that post-modernist writing is usually incomprehensible, I agree. :)
Give me a book full of facts instead any day... but stuff like that, full of long, meaningless statements and purposelessly obfuscated language...
That doesn't mean it has no value, providing a new perspective can be interesting, but... trying to understand what they're saying is usually more trouble than it's worth, really...
If you really want an intellectual workout, take a course in postmodernist philosophy.
