True or false? according to arthur vangundy, language would be considered to be an intellectual roadblock.

Is true. According to the author, Arthur VanGundy, language can be an obstacle or roadblock in the creative process. This blockage occurs because we already have certain vices in the use of some words and, in the author's conception, repeated use of the same words creates biases in our way of thinking, hindering or even blocking our creative thoughts. For example, a window for some people is a shutter for some other people. The point of the author is that each word can represent different results and therefore one must be careful that language does not become a barrier during the creative process.
