I don't have an opinion about Fowler, but whenever someone is pushing this sort of bafflegab, it can be a useful exercise to ask them: why can't you speak simply and directly? None of these concepts are difficult -- it's not a lecture on topology or Lie algebras or something. So why so much impenetrable jargon?
