The governance of the language was borderline ideological, imo.
(There is a very curious but prevalent phenomena where highly intelligent people let a governing ideology do the thinking for them and refuse to countenance ideologically discordant possibilities. (Ancient too, as we see from the ideological reaction of Pythagorean's to existence of √2..))

Highly intelligent people experience having correct intuition -- a product of reasoning occurring at below a conscious level -- a lot, to the point where they may learn to intrinsically trust their intuition to be correct and be highly confident it will prove correct. However, while intuition can often be a manifestation of that kind of unconscious reasoning, it can also be a product of aesthetic/ideological (really, the same thing) preference, among other biases.
