Actually I think it's the people responding to him that aren't being sufficiently careful to read what he actually wrote and to understand the message he was attempting to convey. Granted he could have done a better job communicating (case in point, this very conversation) but that's often going to be the case.

It seems like people are interpreting it in a hostile manner when from my perspective the core of it is both actionable and reasonable feedback for anyone attempting to explain a technical topic. Both of the original points (using mathematical notation and failing to step through concrete examples) are each things that will alienate a decent chunk of any potential audience. In fact the former is one of my primary complaints about wikipedia articles on math adjacent topics.
