Reductio ad absurdum. Could just as easily say any of the following:
I do not consider learning how to smear grease on a canvas could be as fulfilling as <whatever>.
I do not consider memorizing dates and people's names as fulfilling as <whatever>.
I do not consider ruminating on some made up dilemmas to be as fulfilling as <whatever>.
Second language learning is a hell of a lot more than learning a foreign vocabulary.
People like different things (to say absolutely nothing of the other half of how you justify investing in learning -- the economic value of having mastered a second language). Even if it were possible that your individual tastes were some kind of universal truth and we're all just unenlightened -- what have you done to enlighten us here -- the value of the things you like must be self evident? Is everyone just an NPC?
