Different viewpoint.  In your text, I saw no study or article supporting 
or quantifying "understandable by human".  I was worried that this 
statement is not neutral.

The draft text tries to do this by "Cuis aspiration" with TheCuisBook 
referencing the aspiration.

I like the "Reduction of complexity" sentence, but without comparison 
how would one demonstrate this?

By base image Class count, Squeak is 4x larger than Cuis and Pharo is 
3.5x larger than Squeak.

Without numbers it would be like saying some engine company makes 
smaller engines, rather than specifying range of weight or horse power.

I see that people are worried about this comparison.  You are the third 
person to point this out.

Please suggest alternate text.  We can ask a reviewer when we submit, 
but good to make things best we can first.

My blind spot.  I see several articles describing Smalltalks and want to 
ask "what is different?".  Perhaps the wrong question to address in this 
context.

I will also try alternate text to be better.

Thanks for the insight,
