This paper has been repeatedly quoted by the far right of India on how one of the elitist ways of doing something is superior and ahead of time. I saw another comment here which linked to a specific instance of usage.

I know the author's intention might be benign. I know the paper dates back to the 80's. But seriously, read through the paper and conclude for yourself if a similar argument can't be made for any of the hundreds of languages in existence today.
