I'm not sure what you're talking about, but it's not very related to my point about "is", which was that describing things in "[noun] is [adjective]" terms carries the implicit assumption that the universe is made up of things have objective qualities, which is a useful model most all the time but still a model, and hence ultimately wrong.

For what it's worth, I think the connection is, once you surrender "is", you accept a world that is stranger and fuzzier than may be comfortable - a world where the question, "what is an electron?" may actually not have an answer.
