We all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. And that's why advice doesn't work.
The meaning of a work is not what the author had in mind at some point, nor is it simply a property of the text or the experience of a reader.

Like when you pick up a book and you don't realize what type of text it is - it could be an essay, a novel, a biography - and at one point you realize you don't know where, as a reader, you want to be.

And people's responses vary - some dislike it, and are put off by the confusion, the lack of comprehension.
