Is Specialization Babel Our Punishment?

Andy Blumenthal has posted an interesting take on the topic of language multiplicity in Tower of Babel and Enterprise Architecture.

Tower of IT Babel focuses on the phenomenon as a byproduct of our natural inclination to compress communication combined with our tendency to branch into specializations.

Is specialization our punishment for losing sight of the bigger picture?
