Yes, getting past that rambling, current moto fashion personality is part of the challenge of watching this video.
At the core, it's message is anti-roll bars essentially tie the wheels together to varying degrees taking away their independence which negates the design concept of independent wheel suspension.
Over the years much has been discussed over the exxe not having anti-roll bars and adding them to reduce roll angles. As with most things, there are trade offs involved as to adding the bars or not.
Over the years of tinkering with the exxe chassis, I'm pretty much in the no anti roll bars camp and prefer significantly increasing spring rates with proper dampers to control them over adding the bars. This is NOT the solution for all roads or driving conditions as spring rates that are too high does not work well at all on bump roads. In this case, the bars with lower spring rate and again, proper dampers works better.
Then there is an entire world of how one wants the chassis to behave near or at the limit..
None of this is simple, yet the chassis in the exxe can be adjusted and set up to accommodate most chassis needs and driver expectations. This is the true value of the exxe chassis and what makes is so very special.

Yeesh. Seems like a nice guy with some interesting info to share, but rambled a lot.
I think he was saying that a stabilizer bar can sometimes reduce the contact patch and grip (on the inner wheel?) because the bar causes the wheels to work more in unison. So the inner wheel is more likely to lift and over bumps the left-and-right wheels cannot function independently as well.
Which totally makes sense and somtething I've always considered as well. With the size of our addco front stabilizer bars and the bushings which take up some of the slack (and I expect would dampen the overall effect) I like the experience for spirited street driving. The X rolls a little less and "feels" a little more planted (even if it's not -- I have no empirical data).
