John quoted The Systems Bible by John Gall
a System, after all, is a partial intelligence; it participates in the great mind of the universe; and unless we are ourselves have a direct pipeline into that mind, we had jolly better watch our step
Part of the preface to the third edition. I’m finding the authors tone towards systems to be humorous and stark. I can see how others would read the demons into the work, but the authors position couldn’t be more salient.
