Thanks for the explanation. I think that’s why the whole thing feels kind of … unserious? Like in Japanese a whole sentence like “I didn’t eat” could be one long “word” (食べませんでした) but who’s to say it’s more complex than English? If you wanted to play devil’s advocate you could make an argument that analytic languages have their own complexity, for example Yoda-ese (“eat I did not”) which is intelligible but distinctly unnatural to an English speaker
