That would remove the negative connotations of the "withstand", but would also make it a title that would be so unremarkable as to be lost in the pile of other works on the subject.
Though I can probably cite examples to support every one of the author's conclusions, I agree that the sampling was far too small and probably not conducted under very strigent controls. While it is a good place to begin discussion of the disparate aspects of the two languages & cultures, it is far from a definitive analysis and appears to have its own built in biases.
