First of all, it wasn&#x27;t &quot;clearly inferior&quot; historically. Liebniz&#x27; arguments why it was valid were heavily based on infinitesimals and monadology, which were not known at the time to be valid. (In fact, many of Liebniz&#x27; arguments weren&#x27;t valid, although the conclusions turned out to be.)<p>Secondly, if biases exist, one need not argue for diversity in order to achieve it. Liebniz notation didn&#x27;t win because someone argued that anglos were biased and diversity was needed, it won because mathematical arguments demonstrated it was better.<p>Unfortunately the authors of this piece don&#x27;t actually make that latter argument.
