And then he quoted this, which I also wrote:

Uh, what is that supposed to demonstrate?  Since (a), it doesn't say that
FSF made those claims with regard to languages, and (b), it does say that
those arguments could be applied to languages, the top quote above is an
accurate description of what the bottom quote says.  Did you mean to
quote something else of mine and have a cut/paste error, or what?
