when this chapter 11 of genesis speaks of "mixing" the "lip" ...

a. does it mean the movement from one language such as english; to three
languages such as arabic, chinese and russian;

b. or does it simply mean what happens in u.s. congress every day; aka one
party reads the constitution to say the sun rises in the east; and one party
reads the constitution to say the sun rises in the west (much as occurs
elsewhere)?

for surely the inability to communicate in the context of "b" is larger than
that in "a."
