I make no claim about Chinese or English. I merely pointed out that the logical argument given is flawed, and hence, does not carry weight.

It's not flawed in its context. It would be flawed if your point was valid. For your point to be valid, the obfuscation you imply should either be true, or unknown. It's not unknown to whoever knows the language. It's simply false.

In other words, you cannot assume a variable to be unknown when one of the parties does know it.
