On the charges of neologisms for old ideas and the repetitive claims, my recollection is that those were intentional moves on Korzybski's part.
The repetition was to develop semantic habits - to actually change people. The neologisms were for creating new semantic habits, without carrying the semantic baggage of the old terms for the "same" ideas into the new.
