It has nothing to do with dishonesty. But, it is consistent with the "Esperantist
frame of mind" according to a "famous" IAL writer. And, I wasn't that writer.
That is why I sent another post quoter Dr. Lieberman, the individual who found
ILa gave problems to the medical students, and unsurprisingly he was an
Esperantist. Yet, all the tested research by non-esperantists, or
ex-esperantists, goes counter to these findings by Esperantists. For instance,
the research by Hugon in California. He was an ex-esperantist, but to my
knowledge was not an Occidentalist.

And, it is consistent that for some strange reason Esperantists can't find anyone
who can easily read Occidental and/or Interlingua.
