I don't agree that they're equally silly.
Well...on second thought...maybe you're right. They are both silly.
The first thing that comes to mind when I see these loooooooooooong, extraaaaaavigant titles is the looooooooooooong extraaaaaaaaaaaaavigant titles of the French nobility during the Bourbon regime. The contemporary French nobility is a tad more modest--at least in public--(and for good reason!!!). But in texts written before the (horrifying) French Revolution, the silliness of all this--and the folly--jumps right out at you! It's also annoying. And distracting. And a reminder of why the Revolution was so horrifying. And why it happened at all. And what's the good of all that? None that I can see.
