So, no. Imagining that any research that disagrees with you must be a con. Sure..that must be it. You couldn't possibly be wrong.
At any rate, I agree that language is awesome, especially the written word. We obviously love it around here. Then again, the written word was also the vehicle of persistent misinformation..that's what we were learning for quite some time. An additional complication is that we were already building civilizations when we started writing. Already an apex species when we began to speak.
The question almost asks itself. If human language is as great as you think it is, does what you think it does, how did you come to hold the positions expressed in this thread?
