RE: [lojban] Re: Military language



Clearly I don’t, because as far as I can tell lojban doesn’t have a mandatory mechanism for total elimination of misunderstandings, a single being working alone hardly needs language, and everything the military can do is subject to downright totalitarian amounts of bureaucracy (which, itself, is a mechanism to help prevent misunderstandings).  But if not that, what did you think I meant by “everything they can”?

Of course, there can still be misunderstandings, if there is interference and the word ‘na’ doesn’t come through out of “ko na daspo le ckule” bad things would probably happen.  And that does cost lives, but the military is doing everything they can to establish protocols to prevent that kind of thing from happening.

"Everything they can" is interesting. li'a You can't teach Lojban to a million or so people--they have a hard enough time getting Arabic speakers.

 

"Everything they can" means you don't get the idea behind Lojban. A single, transhumanistic, sentient being, could take on the Earth and win. I don't see that they are doing "everything they can".
