BTW: A branding statement from Medium shared with Poynter says the new wordmark and branding system "reflects the unique and dynamic nature of the ideas you can find on Medium without compromising the voices and stories shared."

It always amazes me that people can come up with this stuff with a straight face.

in my experience you don't come up with it with a straight face, but you do publicize it with a straight face.

Absolutely. Similar things happen in other fields from engineering to showbiz. (aka brainstorming) What amazes me is that people have a different "mode" in publicity/advertising that allows them to consume this stuff seriously.

A lot of effort goes into architecting sentences like that.

Years spent in business school has conditioned them for this.
