Okay, granted *maybe* an artificial language could be superior to
natural languages (altho I'm rather skeptical that NGL's wonderful
features would remain in place if it *were* actually spoken), BUT of
natural languages, you can't say one is definitely better than another.
Japanese is superior to English for the Japanese culture, and English is
superior to Japanese for English-speaking cultures.
