I have no strong opinion on this debate but reading Gadsby By Ernest Vincent Wright is exactly like being repeatedly walloped upside the head with a thesaurus. http://spinelessbooks.com/gadsby/01.html If youth, throughout all history, had had a champion to stand up for it; to show a doubting world that a child can think; and, possibly, do it practically; you wouldn’t constantly run across folks today who claim that “a child don’t know anything.”A child’s brain starts functioning at birth; and has, amongst its many infant convolutions, thousands of dormant atoms, into which God has put a mystic possibility for noticing an adult’s act, and figuring out its purport.

I said I had no opinion. If you like a book read that book, it's no one's concern but yours. Clearly there are books that exist which are an exercise in word play, where the author has obviously sat there with a dictionary and a thesaurus, to suggest otherwise is a bit silly.
