I'm not sure I would agree. You said it yourself: "despite the fact that everything can be written in assembly". It does limit your writing and speaking but good vocabulary is not a prerequisite for a good ability to think. People can think differently, some have more language oriented thinking, others visual, abstract or even logical etc, all depending on the areas you are working in.
