This is a valid argument, and I cannot dispute it.
Regarding lazyness vs. English, many people will often try to mask their
lazyness or unwillingness to pose intellectually coherent, well-thought
out and realistic questions by hiding behind the "English is not my
native language" defense.
It doesn't work, and the difference is trivial to see. I have seen far,
far higher-quality questions asked by people whose English skills are
vastly below those of the non-native-English-speaking drive-by posters
on this family of lists. The intent to ask something specific and
cogent can be discerned, and legitimate language barriers are
understandable and can be gotten around.
I suppose there are some conversations that simply cannot be had because
the original posters' English limitations are simply insurmountable, but
I think I've only seen one or two posts like that in my entire time
here, if that. The rest use the fallacious Rehan Defense:
