I had seen such "English" values in another article and attributed it
to an English bias but now I wonder: does Pisani or any other expert really
say that all short vowels are more open and not only the middle-aperture ones,
o and e?

And I was told the opposite for classical Greek: omega and eta more open.
Is it really so?
