And there is the profound desire for this entire thing to be authentic, which in and of itself suggests that it probably isn't. Not since P.T. Barnum has there been a show business master of the trompe l'oeil like Simon Cowell.
I have never seen this word used until the last year or two, and just the other day I saw deconstruct used by a sports writer. The first time I saw it was in an art lecture anouncement. I thought why don't they use words the common people can understand, snobs. I would be hard pressed to use deconstruct....meaningless to most of us....let's deconstruct the myth of the Federal Reserve.
