As humans don't think in language, ie, there is no direct contact between what we think we think, and how we externalize what we think we think arbitrarily, empirically language is primarily about these biases and only secondarily about communication.
This is, again, the Achilles hell of CS, NLP, generative linguistics.
It's impossible for anyone to disagree with this function of language since 2016.
The role for LLMs to operate language is zilch, as you admit LLMs can't uncover this, train, align this out of function.
“We refute (based on empirical evidence) claims that humans use linguistic representations to think.”
