The shit, the fan, the whole damn thing

My last post concerning syntax was accidentally deleted by my own hand; at first, I thought this to be an act of providence, as it would save potential frictions twixt me and Caroline, who, as previously mentioned, was instrumental in getting me here.
However, today we had our first tutorial on x-bar theory 'proper', and all my resentment bubbled to the brim once more. Now, let me not be the proverbial stubborn mule- I kindly asked the tutor if she could explain the reasoning behind adding in an extra X' after every P (if you don't know X bar theory this will make no sense to you- and so you'll be in the same position as those who do); she launched into a long-winded and frankly disorienting diatribe which, if my understanding is correct, which is by no means certain, came down to 'because other phrases can be inserted into this phrase'. I fail to see how this is not accounted for in regular syntax trees, and, Lord knows, I never thought I'd be defending the common garden syntax tree.
And, guess what, later in the tutorial, the tutor herself expressed her distaste for the theory, exclaiming, and I quote

"But why?! When I'm talking to my friends I don't say 'this is the specifier and this is the NP, so there's an N' and....ARGH!"- My tutor, today ALSO Anyone studying x-bar, ever

See? This woman, who has a PHD, IN SYNTAX, cannot fathom the reasoning behind this stupid theory. Wanna know why? Cos there isn't one. It's not based on reason. It's not only illogical, but anti-logical. It goes against commonsense and scientific theory at the same time: it complicates something relatively simple and it changes the data to fit the theory, not the other way around. Because, guess what, THERE ARE NO X BARS IN SPEECH. YOU MADE THEM UP. THEY DO NOT EXIST.
Syntactitians added them to the subject some time ago to try and make drawing syntax trees look like an academic pursuit when it is nothing more than a particularly pointless and ugly form of calligraphy. It's ludicrous, but they've managed to get away with it because the only people in a position to realise this, i.e. linguistics students, the only people who ever use syntax trees and even then only because they're made to, are powerless to stop them because they can just fail us.
I'm telling you, one day Panorama's gonna stop ignoring my letters, investigate this shit and blow this whole industry of terror and frustration wide open.

Yet again, Professor Heycock, I apologise for any offense caused.
