Conclusion: If all important discourse was conducted in Latin, or any other language native to no one, people would make better decisions.
Corollary: All the attempts to make a constructed "scientific language" actually could have worked relatively well, for reasons entirely unconnected to the painstaking scientific structure of the languages.
How late in life would you need to learn that language for it not to hijack your native thinking processes? I was raised speaking Spanish, but by now I can basically think in English with no effort.
