A friend of mine was a radio operator during the war. Well he wasn't exactly an operator more a sort of organic component in a transcription device. Apparently he ( and many others) sat at type writers with ear phones attached to radios. The signal came in enciphered morse code. That is when the dots and dashes were turned into ordinary letters of the alphabet they were still in code. This was Gordon's job. To type the letters so quickly that he would have had no idea what he was typing even if he had known the cipher.
It seems slightly spooky to me that other people's thoughts could pass through a living being without touching the sides as it were.
On the more specific subject of Taicoon Talk would the tones of the Chinese language had a bearing on the subject?
