'Drillable' is an interesting way of putting it, because with this kind of 'investigative analysis' you can keep drilling down without ever reaching the 'core' — instead you just keep going through an endless surface layer of paratext, fanlore, cosmetic trivia, &c. (If it were still the blessed '90s I'd start talking about fractals now.)
