I am not talking about the implementations in assembly, I'm talking about the way he lists them in prose.

I can accept that he lists them the way he does because of familiarity to a style of assembly, but that doesn't change the fact that his prose can be easier to read than some of the alternative schemes people have used. In particular, I have found them to be far more illuminating to what is happening. With some odd challenges on finding ways to convert them to the standard control structure of modern languages.

You don't have to make a larger explanation of the argument for the more common control structures we use today. I am largely bought off on them and I am not trying to argue for a return to "only using jumps."
