Curt Doolittle have you come across any decent studies of language which accurately report the early adopters of written language, and actually convey the comprehensive affect on the winners; and rise of subsequent competitors and that impact? What does such a back and forth look like? Winners, losers. All societies logically connected to this story imo, and I suspect there might remain a few untold lessons or affirmations to be gleamed. Vindication for right argumentation could be a benefit, as well. Which would offer even less wiggle room for false arguments. 🙂
