> Esperanto is easier to learn than any naturally evolved language. Its benefits are clear...

Both of these statements are not true, arguable at minimum.

Sorry for not explaining properly but if you do say something like this, is very likely that you are aware of the discussions around it and knows that this is very far from consensus in the linguistics field.

It's obvious Esperanto is much easier to learn than English and there is lots of evidence for it. The studies estimate it to be about 10X easier to become fluent in EO vs EN.
