Lacan and Hegel aren't the best writers; does that invalidate their point?
People don't think the humanities is pretentious and pointless because of Lacan and Hegel. I'd be very surprised if anyone who says that has bothered with the Phenomenology of Spirit.
It's not a matter of 'honesty' or otherwise that I have read Lacan and feel like he's made sense to me. The problem if that you're being made to feel bad because you didn't get it when it occupies such a central position in critical theory. Lacan is important, but no-one's important enough to be ubiquitous.
