Ugh when I read interviews of Lindelof I cringe. His "vague is good" argument is a laughably transparent attempt to divert criticism from his extremely flawed, amateur writing.
I'm not sure who got it from who but this philosophy drives me crazy. A year or two ago Wired magazine let J.J. Abrams edit an issue and one of the things he kept harping on is that mystery is the key. It's the mystery that is important and it doesn't matter if there is an answer. Just...ARRGH.
