You're never going to convince anybody of anything if you can't explain yourself without using jargon. To be fair though, it looks like he's written a lot on the subject so cherry-picking one piece out of context is going to cause confusion. The guy should write some kind of manifesto that anyone can understand.

I don't think it's possible to explain COSA such that we could understand it, because that would require designing it to an extent that its flaws would become obvious.

(Although Savain doesn't have time to finish designing COSA, he sure has plenty of time to write blog posts...)
