Yes, but Michael... there are different ways of "knowing" without verbal cognition. Body language is a prime example... as a watcher of people I've learned to interpret what they're saying with their bodies even while they say something completely different with their words. Understanding that still requires interpretation though, just as the people who understood what Horowitz meant by making non-verbal sounds. Otherwise, it is just noise. No?
