You are right - you were trying to show us a model of the human mind
in which by using languages that are not English our values would be
elevated, and that model made no sense to me... let's suppose, then,
that you did not describe it clearly enough, and that you pretended
that some parts of that model were obvious when they are not...

Note that each one of us is already using at least two human languages
- Spanish/English, Portuguese/English, Hungarian (?)/English...
