A majority of communication comes from body language. It's so deep that it's developed into our subconscious. Communication is part auditory, but not exclusively.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's entertainment though. It's a movie. Hyde's post was referring to contact with people and that relies a lot on the visual aspect of communication. You can say "hi" a lot of different ways, but the subtlety of your facial expression and body language add a lot more depth to that "hi."

I agree that it is a really tough choice though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
