I think he was trying to get at the covert values embedded in the two terms.
"Fluff" implies something valueless, weightless, disposable, and not necessary. It isn't the "real" thing.
"Crunch" has weight, has complexity...it is a "real" thing.

If different terms were used: concepts and implementations, for example--or flesh and bone...or I don't know...there would be different implied values.
