It's an assumption in science that the language difference is due to
brain difference. That's not to say that our techniques are at present
refined enough to see a difference, but there must be one if language
is due to the brain.
I don't think science is supposed to make assumptions.
Assumption was the wrong word. He meant hypothesis.
And the difference is?
