This has interesting "futential" (that's future plus potential), but development may be hampered by a collective mindset of Fear-Activated, Progression-ORiented WARinEss (we call this "faporware") and ultimately could find itself user-less (or, "useless"). :-O (that's :-( plus :-))

revolutionary concepts are always hard to push through, its the very nature of humankind to fear the new ant cling to the already trusted and known. isn't that omnipresent? politics, religion, notion of nourishment... the majority likes to stick with their four wall prision it seems... i feel like he's trying to use pretty common language so it's understandable, he jost throws in some precise words. when developers talk to each other it's far worse :-)
