That's great, but it doesn't have anything to do with the points I raised.

Which is that I can't find any indication of a linear digital encoding that has been used to any appreciable extent that Meta could train on a corpus of it.

Which is why I'm struggling to understand why you're criticizing Meta? How could they realistically train a linear text model on ASL when the necessary content doesn't appear to exist?
