Thank you for taking time to explain yourself.
My interpretation of their "discredited" is very different from yours. I did not take it as saying anything at all about the nature of the universe, as such, but only about the purely human activity of hustling Theories of Everything.
Ineffability is an interesting notion. If you have a theory that would work given complete information, but you can never get complete information, even in principle, is that ineffable? If you would need complete information to complete the theory (say, to choose among 10^500 possible variations) is that ineffable? Or just too hard? Can you really call it a difference?
