“A real communication at any level of the Tone Scale would still communicate. There is no liability of being at some level of the Tone Scale with a communication. This is the difference between somebody getting—who is in pretty good shape—getting mad and somebody simply being in the anger band. Intention, direction of communication.

It would actually be better to talk to somebody who was in good shape, who was mad, than somebody who was on a manic Tone 4. You got the idea? One is communication; the other isn’t communication.
