"they can be interpreted in many different ways."
This is the clincher for me. How can you make a serious argument if what you say is open to interpretation? For every variable the possible meanings multiply exponentially.
You may as well be saying anything, no-one will ever be able to test or refute it.
In science a huge amount of effort is put into making things as clear as humanly possible, and still lots of problems in communication arise.
Postmodern writings can certainly be enjoyed in the same way as dense literature, for the use of language, references, cryptic meaning, and so on. But demanding to be treated as a meaningful addition to the corpus of human knowledge is simply narcissism.
