"How did science come to speak only English?"

Did it really? In a place for discussion exclusively in English, someone references an article that claims English as defining the universe of scientific communication. Let's complete this a bit in order to make a little more sense, shall we? English is the language of anglophone universe of scientific communication, where by definition, every piece of science communication that's not in English is automatically neglected and the claim stands as tautology. Every further debate in English about English is weird, to say the least.
