I find that book not just clear, but positively lucid. Your description of it seems so wrong I find it impossible to imagine you’ve actually read that book.
And by the way: Hurley wrote most of this book, Adams did much of the rest. Dennett just helped polish it and promote it (using his status as one of the world’s most influential living philosophers) because it is so obviously deserves that.
When did I say i’d read the book? There are hundreds of humor theories and as I’ve said I haven’t been able to review all of them, which is why I asked people to detail what they think is relevant so it can be discussed. Similarly, I didn’t ask anyone to review all of my papers, but have pointed out and described the relevant points here specifically for people to see.
The descriptions I see of the material all fit the style that Dennett uses, which I don’t enjoy for reasons I’ve offered. You’re welcome to make a substantive reply with actual points from the book or addressing the points I made. Bald assertions aren’t that.
