I think it's time for that special pleading now, viz:

The fact that we have allegedly authoritative statements pointing in
different directions for the script in use is pretty good evidence that
there is no single dominant script.  Even non-authoritative statements
claiming that most Hindi is written in Latin, or that most English is
written in Devanagari, are not to be found.

Formal proposal follows.
