This was hard to read; the writer really did not come from the school of succinctness. If the writer is reading this, please try making an edit where you remove as much of the fluff and rephrase sentences like: > When I read this detail, tucked away near the end of a Guardian article, I winced to see another of my predictions come true; that the ‘Butlerian Jihad’ would soon enter public life not as mere literary meta…

Why would you argue yours is better?

Fun fact 1: "jihad" does not exist in Villeneuve's "Dune" adaptation. Fun fact 2: what happens after The Butlerian Jihad? Return of the empire!

"Butlerian jihad" comes from a science fiction novel from 1965 (Dune, by Frank Herbert). They didn't know about current political correctness 60 years ago.

I know that. Just pointing out your double standards compared to the holocaust.

Maybe he should run it through AI to get a more readable version.
