I thought the weak form was pretty solid?
It's pretty obvious to anyone who learns math or programming, that once you find the right vocabulary or equation for something, that your brain chunks it, and it's easier to reason about that domain moving forward.
Of course it's not like if you don't have the word "blue" you are color blind, it's just that it's really hard to have a conversation about 10 different shades of blue if you don't even have a word for it.
The strong version of Sapir Whorf is obviously false because everyone has perceptions and feelings that they can't put words to.
Getting tired of people replying to me about how it is obvious to anyone who speaks more than one language[1] when I’ve said already that I speak two languages.
[1] Which is more applicable than learning programming or math since this is linguistics.
