Why would that thrill linguists? I'm not saying it hasn't/wouldn't/shouldn't, but I don't see why this technology would have the dramatic impact you imagine.

Is/was the same true for ASCII/Smalltalk/binary? They are all another way to translate language into something the computer "understands".

Perhaps the fact that it hasn't would lead some to question the validity of their claims. When a scientist makes a claim about how something works, it's expected that they prove it.

If the technology is as you say, show us.
