So the problem is that SQL can be picked up fairly easily by English speaking population?
How's that the problem and not advantage?

And FWIW, what I wrote was in reply to "mental model". It was *you* who apparently equated that with "speaking English". The "mental model" I described as "exactly the problem" is the "mental model" *of the corresponding logic*, which, though mathematically consistent, is hopelessly unintuitive. Being English-speaking or not has nothing to do with understanding a particular logic underpinning the behaviour of a particular Data Manipulation Language.

You can't prove this. This is what you believe is true.

Isn't it odd how we have the gift of being able to communicate, yet all we do is think we can wield telepathy and not use words to express ourselves. Unless you accurately express what it is you're thinking about, I can't fill in the gaps since I'm not telepathically enabled.

Of course it does.
