That's why I asked for the proper channel to debate about the subject.
I don't plan to discuss this right here and right now. If we are to
think about this, I rather see some specialists involved. We really
need to have linguists, historians etc giving their opinions, rather
than simply computer scientists and such. I know about an Algerian
researcher in history of mathematics working in Orsay University,
Paris. Maybe I'll try to contact him and expose the issue to him and
see if he is interested to join and give his view.
Salam,
