I stand by my belief that the article was written as satire. I once wrote a similar piece asserting that the "huh huh" laugh in the 1990s cartoon "Beavis and Butthead" was not a mere giggle but rather a heartfelt attempt to express thoughts and feelings that go beyond words. I ended up writing several pages worth of musings on this, with appropriate references to various philosophers and footnotes. Sadly the essay is now lost in the past.

I wrote that purely to see if I could, not for any coursework. Who knows what the motivation of this writer is.
