is that a conclusion might be that (eg) "zh" alone is useless.
This requires just one statement, not many statements of the form:
- it is useless for the PRC
- it is useless for Taiwan
- it is useless for Singapore
- it is useless for Mars
- it is useless for Alpha Centauri,
- ...
[I'm taking "zh" as an example and very much hope that I won't
get replies explaining why and how "zh" alone is useful.]
