Hmm, I'm not so sure I agree.

Authors often do fail in their intent, but does that really make it irrelevant to examine it? I think that an exploration of how and why an author's intended message failed or succeeded might be just as important a part of analysis as the text itself.

I think ignoring the author's intent altogether is ignoring an important amount of information about the text.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
