Thank you. When going to the source (Derrida, et al), one gets the sense that deconstructionists have absolutely no desire to enlighten, educate, edify, or indeed provide any value at all to the reader/student.

Quite the opposite, in fact. The disdain and desire to confound oozes right off the page.

That's because they are not supposed to be mentors and they don't deal with students (except nominally, in their academic capacity). They deal with adults.

I haven't yet used this Unicode codepoint, standardized in Unicode 9, but I don't think a better opportunity will present itself for a premiere, so:
