is there any reality where ticking sound with his tongue equals being able to drive stick around a paddock. I dunno. I feel like this doesn't work on this scale.
- medion 4y agoI didn’t mean he could echolocate while driving, it was just a memory of this kid I had, is all.
- naikrovek 4y agoit is amazing when people make an unnecessary leap like that when reading. Some people do it a lot, and some people never do it.
- neogodless 4y agoIt may be "unnecessary" but it was logical within the flow of the paragraph as written. > It was extraordinary to watch. I remember teaching him how to drive stick If it's unrelated to being extraordinary to watch, which references the clicking, there should be a better segue. Of course, the response was unnecessarily harsh!
- k_roy 4y ago> is there any reality where ticking sound with his tongue equals being able to drive stick around a paddock. I dunno. I feel like this doesn't work on this scale. I don't know if I was particularly harsh here. I just envision driving around, with the windows up (or down, doesn't really matter), and being able to click and have some kind of "vision". The image made me think it probably didn't work there, but in a different scenario, sure.
- djtango 4y agoIt's quite impressive that he had the spatial awareness to drive despite being blind
- jerf 4y agoEcholocation probably helps with that. You don't get the high-frequency components like vision can give you but you get enough of the low-frequency components of the space around you to develop a spatial sense, I would think.
