Walter is talking about processes that simply aren't simple. "Slap a schema on it and you're done" is easy to say, and horribly complicated to actually make work. Walter's a lot harder to figure out, but while it's a tougher learning curve, it makes a lot more sense in practice, as you cut out coordination costs and accept that you can't control everything. Responsibility, aesthetics, and language are integral parts, and their interactions are non-trivial. Could Walter's message be simplified? Maybe. But I'm not sure it would mean the same thing. I don't mind reading Derrida or Heidegger either - tough going, rich reward. Asking for easy is not always the way to get to easy.
