The dialog is quite clear if one is fluent in design language. The point is trying to organize the thinking process to make sure all edge cases are explored. These edge case can be discussed in a context of the scale under consideration.
I tried to answer the question the best I could best on my design education which does include Christopher Alexander. I answered based on the context of the question and the level of that the questioner seemed to approach the topic.
I would think a well reasoned critique of my answer would include my errors and how they misled the questioner.
I still think my answer is fine despite not having read the original 4 volume source of the 15 properties that the blog post referenced.
If you would like to explain how this language is not Design Astrology I'm sure it would be more interesting than harping on other answers.
I see that you like long answers and that is fine. Some people like short answers that get to the point.
I guess I was trying to keep the conversation at the same scale:)
