>Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is generally not considered to be reality. It makes intuitive sense but is wrong

Strong S-W (full determinism) might not be, but there's hardly a clear cut consensus on the general case.

And the whole "scientific field" is more like psychology, with people exchanging and shooting down ideas, and less like Math and Physics, so any consensus is equally likely to be a trend rather than reflecting some hard measurable understanding.

I'd say that the idea S-W is not to a degree reality is naive.
