Yes! Perfect. That what I was trying to say, although I lacked the formal language to say it. ;)
I agree with your point about the inhumanity. That kind of communication can get horrifyingly addictive. Once you get too used to speaking in absolute truths, it gets really hard to go back to fumbling human language. Thus, there is a danger of producing overly analytical rants.
Personally, I really like long replies. If someone is going to take the time and effort to draft a really good response to something that I'm interested it, then there is a pretty good chance I'd be interested in the answer.
For really long responses, there is always email. ;)
