Hmm, this definitely feels contrary to my intuition; it definitely feels like language is how I think, though I'll trust the research here more than my gut feeling, so I'm definitely wrong. I guess the reason that I think that is because of how much clearer I can think of a problem after I write a somewhat structured paper on it. Maybe it's not the "language" so much as just forcing some structure is what's responsible.
