The way this article bills itself is a bit of red herring/straw man. Nobody ever denied that cultures could have specialized areas of interest that were reflected in their vocabularies. Of course they do. The hoax was that “Eskimo” had a such a preposterous number of words for snow, because it doesn’t.
