Well, this confuses plainness and accessibility with literary mastery, which is the

often difficult, but generally beautiful. It has what he said in his early letter to 
his dad was true of Hegel, a "grotesque craggy melody." --jks

The Yale Humanities Major speaks: §4 may be dazzling to you literati 
but 'tain't hardly accessible to the toiling masses...
