    This issue has kept me awake at night too.

    The hat as a signifier has several possible meanings, and to this extent it also represents one of aims of QBN, which is to show the possibilities of a pluralistic criticism authorising the interpretation of several meanings in user generated text. As for the oblique reference to duck feet, the animal is a sign from linguistics indicating alternation between two terms of a paradigm. Strictly speaking, the idea of a "hat" merely contributes to a unquantified cloud of irrelevant drivel that the public voice generates on a daily basis.
