It starts to drift off after a while but this is the relevant portion to remember:

Jumping does NOT mean physically how many inches a player can jump - its an indication of the height a player can reach while jumping, hence height is a large factor in this.

Height is essentially built into the rating. But it's not fully cosmetic in the sense that young players will give an indication of their potential to develop great jumping based on their heights.

I think the other things are said to explain the reasoning, and not the actual nuts and bolts of the rating.
