How is
this ASIC-proof?

Gradual increase of ram usage per thread to find blocks...scrypt-jane is known to be 100% asic resistant, unless until BTL becomes so profitable to mine that making an asic is worth the effort xD

There is no such thing as asic-resistant. Deterring maybe , resistant , no way.

Pretty much the same thing...making asics costs money, using gddr5 VRAM chips costs a lot of money, and the bulk of it is reserved by nvidia and amd. Cost is prohibitive, you can't risk making an asic for a coin that might fail. We are getting scrypt asics after a loooooong time now, but we wouldn't have them if the amout of ram used in the scratchpad changed over time, wouldn't give the manufacturers time to bank on it.

Very nice explanation

Everyone can understand .. but they will understand more how this works when we will be at N-Factor of 15.
