I agree. His exegesis could be a source for a nice sermonette ;-)

TEKNOGONIA is translated as 'motherhood' also in Goodspeed N.T. and
Twentieth Century N.T. This way the difficulty of the text is half way
to be resolved.

If we move out of a fixed mindset of Biblish thinking of SWZW = save
(for 'salvation'), the text may become more intelligible. Being a
woman, being a mother, or taking on motherhood is nothing to do with
her 'salvation'. I take 2:15a to read 'a woman will be made whole
through motherhood' (in a sense of maturity and well-being).
