Yo le intenté meter mano para salucionar unas cosas, pero si no se reescribe nunca estará perfecto. De cualquier manera, aunque no concuerdo del todo con la idea, la traducción y la idea tiene su mérito.

I tried to fix some issues, however, if it is not re-written it will never be perfect. Anyways, although I do not agree at all with this idea, the translation and the idea  are still worthy.
