*sigh* Beauty is subjective, Mr Hettinger. Please do not mistake your opinion of the beauty of languages for fact - or, if you don't so mistake it, please don't speak in a manner liable to convey the impression that you do.

Mr Hettinger was not expressing his personal opinion. He was much bolder than that. The sentence "it's a beautiful" is a commonly accepted language short-cut for "most people find it beautiful".

(I'm not interested in arguing either)
