I've actually seen the claim go more commonly the other way. French officials have argued that the EU should use French for legal writing because they say French is more precise than English. And personally I don't speak French but I have learned Spanish, which is structurally very similar. Spanish seems to me to be just as precise and useful for technical work as English. Also France has produced a large number of famous scientists and successful engineering projects.
