Rhetorical (In)Coherence
This week I will babble about
rhetorical coherence, no doubt incoherently,
hence the title. The information I impart will
be of extremely low entropy, much like rhetorical
questions (Rohde, SDLP 2, 2005). That is to
say that I will not only offer little information,
but will employ a great many words in doing
so. Indeed, you'll be lucky if I have anything
more to offer than the results of an unimaginative
Google search for rhetorical questions, which
will take the usual 0.07 seconds (or .06832451
before Google started rounding off search times).
