I said no such thing, if I am the principal you refer to. I said that
QWERTY is useful, and it is. There is QWERTY input available for
Japanese, Chinese, Devanagari, Arabic, Hebrew, Cherokee, Armenian,
Greek, and Inuktitut in the Mac OS. This is useful to many people.
There are also other keyboard layouts available for these scripts,
for people who may prefer that. (Not for Greek, which uses QWERTY as
a standard.)
