Haven't you ever done a gap analysis of a technical document? Does
doing one negate the fact that it is still a technical document?

My first year English teacher did several months examining the
phallic symbolism of works such as Moby Dick, Gone with the Wind
(don't ask), and several other literary classics. By the time she was
done, you'd have thought they were XXX screenplays. Does that make
them less "classic literature".
