Respectfully speaking, I don't think we need to get anywhere near some weird "reality is relative" argument here.

Just say it's not useful to you because you can't use it. No need to say it doesn't exist, even if it just doesn't exist "for you."

(As an aside, I think a lot of societal problems in the world today have roots in relativism and such -- so it's a bit of a bugbear.)

I understand that. However my comment was just a statement that the existence the person above me was implying was useful existence. As in we can all be excited about this new tool, or game, or whatever, but if we never get to use it, its usefulness is moot. So while the language certainly exists we can observe him working on it, and he could even create a game using it that would have some societal impact, the current usefulness of the language to anyone except him is as if it did not exist at all.

Of course you could make the argument that its mere existence and him highlighting certain aspects could have influences on other language designers... and wow am I going down a tangent spiral now...

Anyways: TL;DR reality is objective but words can have complex semantics
