The Human Eating-Speaking System - Bad Design?

In Found: The First Mechanical Gear in a Living Creature, discussion has spread off to the design qualities of the human eating-speaking system.Perhaps we can have a separate thread for it here.It starts here: Message 6My argument is that the system as we have it is pretty good at doing what it needs to do; though it presents the risk of choking to death, the alternative designs presented are far more complicated and 'hardware heavy' than what they benefit the species in way of removing the choking hazard.The counter arguments are that a system completely separating speech/breathing from eating would be ideal to such a degree as to warrant the excess hardware and all the complications that might come along with this.Jon(Any forum is fine.)

The dolphin system is not complex enough. We know this because their brains are not as complex as ours. If we relied on a system comparable to theirs, we'd be failing to communicate a huge amount of what we are capable of thinking.A replacement system has to be able to achieve at least the same as the current system to be worth considering. But these systems aren't sufficient for us. Complex thought can only be transmitted through complex communication. But it can't just be any kind of communication; it has to be communication sufficient enough for carrying the complex thoughts of our complex brains.

Well, something realistic would be preferable.

An example of your example would be helpful.Any videos? Audio recordings?

The examples I find don't cut the cake.If you want to let me find the evidence for your theory, then I will present some.Just don't expect it to be particular good evidence that I find.On the other hand, if you can think of something real solid that supports your claims, bring it forward.

Well, I've done some searching, and I haven't found an example of birds speaking in any clear manner.
