| I don't dispute that the practice of piling words one upon the other
| is often used in an attempt to confer significance upon a work. What
| I would dispute is that a title can confer significance on a work
| that has none. (Pick your own example.) And when a work has
| significance, as I think the "TM Modeling Principles" does, it has
| no need of piling up words in the title. Particularly noise words
| like "Metamodel."

Actually, it's not a noise word. It has a pretty clear meaning: it is
a model use to construct other models. Sounds like precisely what the
RM is supposed to do.
