No, if anything it's a demonstration how clever Otake is.

Sorry, they are common terms in the Go world that we use without giving it
any thought. Aji-(keshi) is difficult to translate, yet such a natural
concept that I sometimes catch myself using it in normal speech without
realising it doesn't mean anything to people who don't play go.

I use whatever terminology I like or think appropriate. I'm always willing
to clarify their meaning to people who want to know and who are able to ask
in a way that doesn't piss me off.

Maybe you should try again.
