Given that it is hilarious, and that hilarity is because of exactly the kind of compression progress discussed, it is self demonstrating.

I find this kind of metaness and self demonstration hilarious, because it in a more compressed manner helps compression progress, given this theory.

I flat out don't understand. Can you try again, but more concretely? With example(s)?

I don't think so. It's already about a specific example - your article - and entirely abstract and subtle.

Can you at least tell me the line that you found funny? And maybe what about it is compressed well (or poorly)?
