Um, I didn't make any connections between stop signs and monoculture.
I said that stop signs are on a red octagon with a white border pretty
much everywhere in the world and the word STOP is a formality, rather than
a direction in and of itself. In fact, I would say that you could get
more people to stop at a red octagonal sign with a white border on which
was printed the string RAXLLE or FORME than you could at a sign of any
other shape and color printed with the word STOP. Even if every subject
spoke english as one of their principle tongues.
