How so? Signing isn't as "complete" as written or spoken language. You would say/write "The dog ran in the park yesterday" but the signing would be more like "YESTERDAY, DOG RUN [THROUGH] PARK."
You're not going to get David Mitchell out of ASL, but then again you can't get motive music videos in Dejima either. They each have their place and meaning, but they aren't quite interchangeable.
