It bores them. Most of us would be bored of a listserv in which the people wrote back and forth all day about their stamp collections (I would). Well, believe it or not, a lot of people would find all of our political chatter just as boring, if not more boring. As much as I like Chomsky, I found his statement to reveal a certain self-absorption. Somebody should let him in on another secret: most people are bored silly by discussions of "deep" grammar as well.
