This is a bit funny. His argument is that the "Free Software" explanation is longer and thus gives you more opportunity to explain it properly.
However originally the opposite is the case: The FSF explains free software with the four freedoms [1], the OSIs Open Source Definition has 10 points [2]. If you dig into them you'll realize that they more or less mean the same. Which is also usually the point I tend to make in these debates: How you call it isn't so important, important is what it means.
