I definitely don't think that notation is pseudo-mathematisation; good notation is inordinately powerful in enabling good mathematics (and bad notation can make even simple mathematics hard). What I meant to describe as pseudo-mathematisation was the discussion of notation in what seemed to me in a (to me) unnecessarily formally mathematical way.
