Here is a quote from the paragraph after the one you cite:
"This implies that we must keep the
load of reviews within the reasonable range, but allowing multiple
submissions of journal articles would increase that load for everybody.
Setting aside the issue of whether a given reviewer would receive the
same manuscript more than once, if the number of submissions quadruples,
then the number of reviews done by each reviewer will quadruple."
Is this not plain enough for you? ;^/
Don't worry, I have this trouble with reviewers all the time!!
