A formula for conflict?

Here's a formula for conflict that apparently pissed off Michel Foucault, and which he accused Jacques Derrida of:

Michel Foucault once characterized Derrida's prose style to me as "obscurantisme terroriste." The text is written so obscurely that you can't figure out exactly what the thesis is (hence "obscurantisme") and then when one criticizes it, the author says, "Vous m'avez mal compris; vous êtes idiot" (you have misunderstood me; you are a fool) (hence "terroriste").

This is also one of the classic tools of advertising—use language that is either too abstract, too general, or lacking context, to avoid getting in trouble with fraudulent claims.
