A simpler format allows the logical structure to be more easily discerned and errors in the mathematics to be detected.

OK .. got it … and so … coming back to the original article, I agree that it all sounds pretty interesting.
It also seems like a good idea to 'make the math work better', in spite of 'the usual' criticism about maths/renormalisation etc.
As Rob inferred in another thread, if it all gets too complicated, what else could they do, in order to 'see the trees from the forest' ?
(Perhaps a rhetorical question, here).
Cheers
