In summary, it reads like "people struggling to get access to clean water are also linguistically-poor, which prevents them from reading scientific papers".
In a way, yes.
When you apply Cuil-theory, it means “how many more levels of abstraction do you have to understand, to find an easy ~solution to~ description of your problem.”
Somehow like category theory will enable you to solve your maths homework.
Being linguistically poor reduces your options for sourcing solutions to your problems, or understanding how to stop them being problems in the first place.
There may be methods of accessing clean water that are totally outside their traditional or contextual experience, which they have no hope of accessing or evaluating due to linguistic limitations.
Even the idea that there may be options outside of the traditional and immediate, may be something they had not thought of due to linguistic limitations.
Do not like these people.
