Much of the theme of the book resolves around how the neo-chimps feel as clients to the "wolfling" humans. The humans themselves feel lost in a universe that has made billions of hears of progress without them--how much more so must their unfinished clients feel? As a result, the long words may have been planted deliberately to enhance the "we're <I>way</I> out of our depth here, but we have to muddle through anyway!" feeling. --(David G.)

Much of the theme of the book resolves around how the neo-chimps feel as clients to the “wolfling” humans. The humans themselves feel lost in a universe that has made billions of hears of progress without them–how much more so must their unfinished clients feel? As a result, the long words may have been planted deliberately to enhance the “we’re way out of our depth here, but we have to muddle through anyway!” feeling.

Lemme put it this way: I sure as heck would hate to see a "tutling scalpel" if your meaning is correct!
