Insenstivity to speakers of foreign languages

Posted by loswald on 05 Mar 2016 at 04:16 GMT

The retraction of this article does not make any sense. English is my second/ third language, and to me, it is clear as day that the authors wanted to use the word "nature" and not creator. Clearly, there are no insidious religious motivations for sneaking in the word "creator": a creationist would not have mentioned "millions of years of evolution" in the same breath as the creator. Perhaps the editorial board needs listen to "Google Translate Sings" videos on youtube, they're a lesson in how hilariously terrible translations can sometimes be.

"nature" instead of "creator" in the abstract is still wrong. There is only evidence that robotics can learn from nature.
