That's a rather categorical POV push on your part.  Your lack of 
imagination should not be treated as a condition equivalent to everyone 
else's disability.

While it is true that simple languages do not have separate ISO codes 
from their complete counterparts, reference to that seems more like an 
excuse than a reason.

The closing statement on the cited page also states:
    1. No standard orthography,
    2. No literature.
These are both utterly false.
