Not to be contrary, but with some appropriate punctuation, BWE monologue could be parsed into sentences that could be said in a corporate environment with a straight face and, at least, some level of sense to it.*
It reminds me of something that I experienced as a young department manager back in the go-go days of the late 20th century. I was talking to some engineers about a project and, for some reason I cannot recall, we started talking about a retirement notice for some executive. The notice, written by that executive's superior read "we will miss her thought leadership on customer centricity." I asked (rhetorically, I thought) what the heck that meant. Without missing a beat, one of the engineers replied "It means she won't be missed."
* Not by me, mind you.
