-Digitalisation of data and the advances in ''information technology'' allow us to manipulate, desiccate, desecrate, defibrillate and duplicate our [[data]]. We can, in theory, handle ''any'' kind of syntactical complexity, optionality, or flexibility — if the [[algorithm]] is good enough, a machine can, instantly, ingest and process any textual construction, however dense.  These are the tools we have available to us: with a simple cut-and-paste we can replicate, vary and augment at will.
+Modern [[information technology]] allows us to freely manipulate, desiccate, desecrate, defibrillate and duplicate [[data]]. A good enough [[algorithm]] can, in theory, handle ''any'' kind of syntactical complexity, costlessly ingesting and processing the densest textual construction.  With a simple cut-and-paste we can replicate, vary and augment at will. But this generates what we call the “[[Yngwie Malmsteen paradox]]”<ref>Spinal Tap’s [[Nigel Tufnel]] might have called it the “[[Jazz paradox]]”</ref>: Just because guitar technology<ref>Scalloped frets, flat radii, locking tuners, rectified amplifiers etc.</ref> means you ''can'' play 64th note flattened mixolydian arpeggios at 200 bpm ''doesn’t mean you should''. <br>
-''But this is not to say we should''. This we call the [[Yngwie Malmsteen paradox|Yngwie Malmsteem paradox]]; Nigel Tufnel might have called it the [[Jazz paradox]]. Just because you can play 64th note flattened mixolydian arpeggios at 200 bpm (Yngwie) or whole-tone chordal improvisations using inverted variations #7aug13, ''doesn’t mean you should''.
-Complexity is the ''enemy''.<br>
