Extracting positive mental stimulus from metaphorical language by means of reduction to equivalent scientific terminology

Dear Ms. McCaleb,
   The submitted article failed to meet our standards for clarity and, more egregiously, failed to adhere to standard scientific principles of evaluating evidence; however, I believe there may be merit to your findings, so I have rewritten your paper to conform to our elevated standards.
Sincerely,
Kris McGary

We inferred that the scale of the universe encompassed many orders of magnitude.

The photon stream from the nearest star arrives after reflection from the largest satellite of Homo sapiens native planet while being stochastically interrupted by stratospheric accumulations of condensed water vapor and lateral outgrowths of woody angiosperms.

The retinal stimulation excites a neural path activating the prefrontal cortex leading to a coherent neuronal firing pattern that correlates with the mental activity of processing ancient symbolic patterns pertaining to the corrupted state of Homo sapiens. Simultaneously, earth passes through the vacuum of space. We subjectively report cognitive dissonance about the positive moral value of qualia of an aesthetic nature.

The deceased do not ambulate as a consequence of the above reported cognitive activity; however, the viable  do.  The process of all material objects reorienting into a higher state of entropy leads to an attempt at vocalization, which is impaired by a non-standard cognitive state.
