"we'll see SSPX legalese, but we won't see what can be understood with the slightest modicum of common sense"

The exact opposite is true. It is common sensical to stick with Catholic Tradition at a time when all hell is breaking loose in the Church and the Holy See itself is rent with confusion and internal dissension. As for the SSPX speaking "legalese"--this is the claim of those who themselves have run out of rational arguments by which to confront traditionalist objections to what's currently going on. The reason you resort to such jargon is your own inability to discern the truth for yourself regarding what the Society has been saying. REAL common sense would see at once it neither teaches nor practices anything original or new--nothing but the Catholic faith unadulterated by novelties of recent vintage.

It is common sense to a Catholic to believe in God, through what He has revealed to us, and EVERYTHING that The Church has proposed for our beliefs.
If you saw Father Corapi, you'd recognize this explanation of the virtue of FAITH.
Father Corapi gave clarity to the question I'd posed to you just a little while back [paraphrased]:  who has more faith, you, or JPII?
Peace.
