I was pointing out that innovation for its own sake is worthless then was agreeing with the view that not all the world's inventions come from people who think in English yet pointing out communicating in English is best for world wide distribution. I don't really know how many Jews who won Nobel Prizes thought in Hebrew, English, or even Russian. But it is as you wrote possible that Hebrew is more efficient.
Something about their culture tends to be productive compared to others. Perhaps it's their orientation toward God, which is defined as absolute spiritual perfection. That in itself would tend to produce more efficient thought. English has a property that unfortunately allows it to be redefined with liberal definitions which are inefficient. Computers need smarter software to exceed the performance of Watson and OpenCyc to create worthwhile innovations automatically. I think working to automate Bible analysis is an efficient way to produce smarter software. But based the failures of automatic translators, computers may be slow to think flawlessly.
