Yeah, as I said, Eco goes to absurd extremes about it. If you happen to have that essay, you'll find out that the act of titling a novel is, for him, a necessary evil, because it gives too many clues about the meaning of the novel.

Well. Okay then. But then, Eco teaches semiotics at a university. That sort of contortion is necessary for him. But I fall a lot closer to Eco than to Spoor when I actually think about it.
