What is "false"? The article doesn't mention the word "copyright" at all.

I routinely use mdashes. What is your operating system?

the Committee saw no pressure to introduce a phonetic system for Mandarin

This is particularly interesting to me: where did you get this?

Thanks for the thorough comment.

Easy/hard in which aspect? And how do we even measure it?

I'm confused as to if you read the article, since you point out Chinese characters later. Did you?

Similarly, Cherokee syllabary and Hangul for Korean. The former was even created by someone who was himself illiterate!

There is still a meaningful distinction between spectral and non-spectral colors as far as I (a non-scientist) is concerned: what one is saying is "this is my perception of a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation" and non-spectral colors are "this is my perception of some kind of weird interference between opposing colors or a bizarre trick of the brain or whatever". Color as such is still a purely mental phenomenon but what instigates that phenomenon can be different.
