It's a wonderful and practical idea to try and standardize language, albeit a naive one.
IMO it's pointless to try and debate the design of esperanto, or any other forced language. Because it's just that, it's forced. I just don't believe you can force a language on people.
Languages are as naturally ocurring as anything else in nature. They evolve organically. If we were hypothetically able to force esperanto on a part of the populace then that very same populace would evolve the language and the wordlists would be rewritten by the people introducing new words.
