I've said this before but it bears repeating: David Sklansky is actually a comedian. This explains much. Very Much.
Schoonmaker's mind must have turned to mush since he has obviously followed Sklansky's lead for the structure of the sentence quoted. And a most ponderous sentence it is. It leaps from the page and grabs the attention of every reader, and makes all wonder if there is a sentence to surpass it if only one keeps reading. Odds are there is.
