Most of that discussion is incomprehensible to me, and probably to most 
Lojbanists.

A language can never be exactly defined in terms of itself, so that's 
generally not a problem. I have no problem with "rozgu" or "djacu" 
or "lanme". I do have a problem with "jbari", as it's defined in terms of 
English "berry", which is polysemous. One definition includes strawberries 
and raspberries and blueberries but excludes tomatoes and oranges; the other 
does the reverse.
