To the author's credit, he has this in the first line, ie, that the article was not intended for others to read and enjoy.

As Bessis has described in his book [1], it is extremely difficult to understand math someone else has written. The words and symbols dont convey imagery or ideas that the author has in their mind. I was surprised to read in that book that this applied to mathematicians just as it applies to you and I.
Coming back to this article, I wish it were written in the spirit of the essence of linear algebra [2] - conveying the essences in images and pictures instead of words. I am curious to hear from others if they feel this way or is it just me.
