> Participants were instructed in their respective native languages to estimate roughly how much time it took
If they really want to claim that the “language you speak” changes your perception of time, then they should have avoided the confounding variable of translation discrepancies in experiment instruction.
For example, design some simple UI which does not need to be explained.
> the story from France of the second-grader who, asked what 2x3 equals, replied "3x2", knowing only that multiplication was commutative.

> ArXiv won't let authors remove their paper from the website
This is an essential feature of arXiv to maintain academic integrity and encourage serious academic submissions.
If you realize that your paper contains an error, then you can mark the paper was "withdrawn". People have limited time so if you do this no one read the paper (everyone makes mistakes sometimes).
As long as you do not make a habit of uploading and withdrawing papers, then it will not matter.

In case you missed this in the article, the effect you described is a possible explanation of why the effect happens …

On hacker news, it is equal plausible that the comment is being downvoted since it is not completely serious, so I will add the disclaimer that:
