I don't agree that all languages are created equal in this regard.
I never said that. I'm only asserting that no language is completely immune, because hubristic cleverness is intermediate to stupidity and genius.
I think that there are cultural norms and expectations that come with certain languages that make them more or less susceptible to "cleverness."
Cultural norms can indeed help or hurt.
