It's that grammatical specificity that is the core - and, truth to tell, the entirety - of the argument, as if it makes Sanskrit somehow equivalent to Loglan/Lojban-type constructed languages or a purpose-built computer language. Well, that and the prevalent idea in some nationalistic circles that Sanskrit is the original, perfect language, and that everything else is just a corrupt, fallen version of it. It's wishful thinking. Woo. It's the Lysenkoism of linguistics.
