Critics can use the Obfuscator to make any text more complicated without losing any of the original words of the text.
Exegesis got you down? Explication got your head going round? Tired of looking for that kernel of meaning in art? If you're suspicious of the practice of criticism that tries to interpret art to reconstruct an intended sense, or relate what an artist was trying to convey in simpler linguistic terms, then the Obfuscator is the answer for you. Elevate your criticism to the level of 'big T' Theory by producing consistent increases in difficulty on all major readability tests!

Without losing the words of the original text, The Obfuscator creates--as if by magic--a new more complex text through the power of obfuscation.
