There are two points that came to mind when I read the latest rambling missive from Hugh:

1) Great communicators are concise.

2) Great communicators don't use jargon, or in this instance, foreign phrases, to an audience that is not likely to know the phrase, without translating it.  To not do that is to lose the audience at a basic level. To those who wondered, but couldn't be bothered to look it up, "Nem di gelt!" translates to "get the money".

As to the merits of Hugh's points, well.... 

1) Hindsight is a cheap way of criticizing people for making the best choices available in a past time when circumstances were different than today.

2) A sales perspective can be valuable in many instances, but no amount of salesmanship skill is going to convince a person to buy your product until they see some need for it.  Or to put it in other words, you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
