Syntax Destruction

The process of intentionally vitiating the arrangement of words and phrases with excessive jargon (especially Fedspeak) with the aim of misleading.

In the case of Fedspeak, it results with the media in opposing camps interpreting the inscrutable gobbledegook in vastly different ways leading to further polarization of the Joe Public. Now with Joe Public beclouded by partisan interpretation, interpreting inscrutable gobbledegook under the false pretenses of inbringing clarity to the Fedspeak's inscrutable gobbledegook.

Alan Greenspan's syntax destruction made it seemed like he answered the question, but in fact he did not. In reality he responded with inscrutable gobbledegook.

Fundamentalist Criticism

An analysis literary or artistic work where the critic claims to have found the literal, only/sole verdicial, or irrefutable interpretation of a literary or artistic work.

Halsey: "Arroxa's claims on Shrek being written as a Ricardian socialist criticism on Consumerism is bordering on fundamentalist criticism. Not because of her take (which is interesting), but her claim that all other interpretations of the artistic work; that is Shrek, is phony -- which is a bit much. I mean her take is interesting, but come on dude. Do you know what I mean Jiheon."
Jiheon: "Yeah she seems a bit much at times, but Arroxa is our highly opinionated bestie. We love her despite her putative ipsedixitism."
