In a perfect world there would be one language that was absolutely precise and only added new worlds as necessary. We don't live there though, so we're stuck with our current insanity.

Different languages have unique world views and understandings.

To have a single language is to eradicate a plethora of cultures... Nothing perfect about that.

What you're describing sounds like Esperanto.
