I very much would like to "reinject the real and the referential" (p. 22) wherever Baudrillard misuses scientific terminology. "Hyperreality" as a concept obviously invokes hyperreal numbers, yet it is unclear to me whether Baudrillard understands anything about mathematics or science despite many references to magnetism, atomic orbitals, and DNA transcription, among other physical phenomena. Maybe that's the point.
