The only problem I see with this is that the words pre-exist the Forge, neither does the Forge provide the only conceptualization and usage of the same. Why should we be forced to think in Forge terms? The author of the review has all the right to use the words as he pleases as long as their meaning is clear. If that meaning diverges from the Forge that's well and good as long as the author is not claiming to be using them in Forgite terms.
Other than that you are right about the shallowness of the review. The style is clear and concise but it's also content-free.
