Fine - suppose we all believe the above claim (which I, personally,  
happen to do), then let's suppose we drop Ken and any compatriot of  
his choice, who happen to be both equally _literate_ in IPA and  
equally _illiterate_ in some endangered language (to make things even  
easier, let's make it any indigenous language of the Americas in  
which they both happen to be illiterate!) into an indigenous  
community, their mission being to write down all possible of that  
community's stories and traditional cures in a single week, with all  
travel expenses paid?

How would you like us to tag the results of your week's work, Ken?
