What is definition of Slovio? Screenshot of Mr. Hucko's random ideas?

I think Slovio is not only random idea. I read section "Problemis" on the official page and saw that people were trying to apply the best logic when making the grammar. So, the grammar is pretty logical. But the dictionary was made, it seems, by many different people who didn't discuss any word between them.
The idea of the dictionary is as follows:
1) All Slovio words don't have to be of Slavic origin, but they must be the most widely understood words among Slavic-speakers.
2) The words should be melodious, easy to pronounce, easy to use in music or songs.
3) One should try to avoid such sounds as "sx, cx, zx," or use them as little as possible. These sounds tend to reduce the clarity and the comprehensibility of languages.
4) The spelling of words should be kept as simple as possible in order to minimize errors of writers in Slovio language.
5) To avoid confusion when to use "j" and when to use"i", in Slovio "j" is being used only at the beginning of the words, and in a few suffixes. Otherwise we use only "i". The letter "j" is not being used in the middle of a Slovio word; exception being imported non-Slovio words or names.
And that's all. So the dictionary creators were almost free to use any word. For me the process seems to have been that, for example: a Czech person invented word "vitr" from his native "viitr", a Pole invented "rodzin" from his "rodzina", a Russian invented "sobak"... Everyone used the spelling that HE thought to be "easy to pronounce, easy to use in music or songs", everyone choosed the word HE expected to be "the most widely understood words among Slavic-speakers"! No one took care how difficult will it be to learn this word mess.
