English native speakers often believe the whole world must master
English as perfectly as they do themselves. I am sure Dr Yoshimasa
didn't intend to offense, and his world "preposterous" may be some
translation from Japanese that doesn't bear the same meaning. Please,
remember this is an international list, and everybody does his best
in English (often his third language).
