I'm not sure what "flying buttresses" have to do with anything.  Are you actually responding to Simon's paper (as the headers suggest), or some other matter altogether?

I am referring to the live presentation which I strove to understand and appreciate … but which I admit I simply didn’t get …

Or perhaps got entirely wrong.

What I *thought* I was seeing and hearing was plea for software to be more like gothic architecture,

Which in a humanistic way makes sense, but in a logical way I simply don’t get.

Oh well, I don’t get everything.
