Default Suspension Tuning Terminology: Aggressive and entering/exiting turns

Question 1
OK, so I know the word aggressive, I just want to make sure I understand the context in which it's being used in the sentence below (taken from an interview with Pavidis).

"Adding more negative camber to the front of your buggy will make your car less aggressive, especially when turning into the corner."

The term "less aggressive" above seems to mean, less bite or less traction, correct?

Question 2
Is the following statement made with the assumption that you deccelerate entering a turn, and accelerate out of it? So the front end dives down in the first half of the turn under braking, then pops up in the second half of the turn while accelerating out?

"A longer link means the camber will change less as the suspension compresses, which will make the car turn in harder but push exiting the corner."
