We need to be very careful about the use of words period.
 
Words were invented to say those things that are not communicable by the 
direct means we already have. So no surprise that they are pretty much 
useless for saying those things that are.

Whereas the tango connection is about as direct as it gets. It lets one 
tell another about axis, and everything else that matters, far more  
meaningfully than do words.
