Sometimes in discussions the last word bears undue weight.

I will argue that Yrjö's book is comprehensible -- I know an undergraduate in philosophy/legal studies who has read it and grasped significant content, with his underground copy (lineage from Sweden), in isolation. The landscape of the book can be walked through, and as in traversing a landscape, one discovers so much more ground to examine carefully. Moreover one benefits from a guide who knows the land, who can point out the unexplored regions as well as the broken path.

Accessibility is the first step into the landscape. It will take some time to put the 300+ page on the web in good form, and that done, one can then decide proper timing for the excursion.

Thank you, Yrjö, for the considerations.
