That's a very different thing than the claim that human language is "still primarily a body/gesture language", which is what I was arguing against.

- ben_w 9y agoThere are many interesting things which cannot be expressed by body language, one of which is what is meant by “primarily”. Maslow's hierarchy? Body language is primary, it comes first. By number of bits required to describe the typical change to synaptic weights? No idea. By number of raw bits? If I had to bet, I’d give 10:1 that body language beats words with reasonable compression for both audio and video streams, much stronger certainty for uncompressed.
