1. There might be some universal rules about the world. 2. There are limitations in human's understanding and human language. 3. For all the rules that can be described in human language (which is subject to the limitations in 2), they can't hold universally.
Putting into the context where the words are cited. Any claim (in human language) about programming like "you should program in this way" is most likely not universally sound.
Of course a philosophy book 2000+ years ago can be interpreted in a different way. Happy to see the elaboration of your understanding "No method that can be explained is universally applicable".
We've seen numerous efforts to bring in more modernized terminals and shells. VanJS goes with the other direction. Why not making building UI apps as simple as CLI programs so most of us aren't confined to the limitations of terminals? Indeed, even for the quest of modernizing terminals, VanJS is pretty good at it.
