I feel as much enjoyment as I would with any other moderately interesting statement. I have no trouble parsing it, so I don't consciously notice anything about its structure. I think requiring writers to always use short sentences would make many articles worse, by forcing them to express the same ideas in a more verbose way.


> I have no trouble parsing it

I must be slow. I had quite a bit of trouble reading it. I counted 8 disparate ideas in that one sentence. I had to read it 4 times to actually understand everything.
