[lojban] Oldbie Question from private mail.

[Robin Lee Powell <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

Someone sent me (as lojban@lojban.org) private mail to ask:

    3) This url states that  : http://arj.nvg.org/lojban/myths.html

    When the new vocabulary was made after the Loglan/Lojban split,
    the semantics of the colour adjectives were changed. The word
    "blanu" no longer meant "x1 is bluer than x2", but "x1 is blue".
    The justification for this change was "we don't want a world
    where everything strives to be bigger, better and taller than
    everything else". This is clearly a strain of the Western ideal
    of equality, which by no means can be called "culturally
    neutral".

    Is this all true?

Help?
