While I agree in this case, your criticism as stated is so vague that it could be made of any idea

Yet is wasn't made of any idea, and if you agree in this case, you deem it appropriate for this case, in which it was made. It is a fairly general principle: don't try to juggle a thousand angry cats at once, human mind is not that strong.

Vladimir - "concentrated confusion", "a thousand angry cats": that's exactly the kind of spice that your earlier post needed! :-)

Also fewer function words...
