Clearly you aren't a scuba diver.

Communication is multi-dimensional.
"Often," how does it work?

Yeah, let's pretend that's a mystery. That will definitely be worthwhile.

Oh, it's not a mystery to you? Then you should have no problem telling us how "work" works.

Right, because we're going to pretend that it's a stumper. Fun fun fun. At least until they take our T-Bird away.

Well, you keep making these outlandish claims about stuff working/not working context-free of any criteria for success.

Why doesn't pointing work when you want a bagel? It's right fucking there! What do you think could go wrong?

Why don't we pretend that we don't understand what it is to ask a question?

Before you ask questions, tell me what it is you seek.

Why are you asking?

You don't have to pretend if you don't know why you are asking.

You can just say that you don't know why you are asking.

The better ironic pun for Skepdick would have been "meddle."
