The article says "almost all of this technical thing is in English and that's bad". I'm saying "no it's good"

  The headline says that, the article is different. It's saying most research studies done on the mind are done on English-speaking participants.

    Serves me right for skimming the headlines!

    That's the argument, but I'm not sure it makes sense. Unless you're studying the difference in people's minds given language differences, it makes more sense to study a common language, otherwise language differences will color the results, making comparisons difficult or impossible.

      Yes, it's easier to study just one language. But it limits your ability to make universal, language-independent, conclusions about the mind.
