Nothing more, nothing less.
If they wanted a "x is better than y for business", it would not be a serious study at all, just a bunch of journalistic edgy writing.
- yogthos 7y agoCorrect, this is outside the scope of the study. My point was that there are factors other than correctness that are important. Pron's comment implies that since there is practically no difference in quality shown across languages, that the language choice does not matter. However, clearly there are other factors that are important to consider.
