Why should such potential confusions not be taken into account when
making the decision? It doesn't have to be the single deciding factor,
but it can be one more factor to consider. For me personally, it is
not the deciding factor, but it helped me decide against the numeric
system, which I dislike more for Lojban-internal reasons.
