Now I see what you mean by "limits."
But there are two different positions Derrida takes in "Of Grammatology."
In the first part he explains his strategies. In the second part he
demonstrates how they work. Your "limits" applies to the latter. That is
only when he is deconstructing a text himself, your assertion is relevant.
In the first part, however, things are more complex since he must explain
what Deconstruction is without being logocentric himself, because this is
technically impossible. This is where one gets the feeling that he is
pushing the limit of language since he needs devices that can escape the
binary pairs in order to explain the workings of the binarism and
logocentrism, but no such device exists.

That is, if you use them in a discourse. And, this is why, for me, to state
likes and dislikes in a discussion is useless. The only way to argue in such
a discussion is for me to adapt a totalitarian position. However, to simply
express your likes and dislikes as a curator, without implying any
authority, is not a totalitarian act, rather it is a personal artistic
expression.
