That is a good read, but as someone who tests in the first percentile for reading/listening, comprehension and retention, helps explain why many people who try to have discussions with me, shift there premise mid argument to fit there "evidence" and then cant remember where they started from, when reminded, and of course become agitated when challenged. Right now I am puzzling over how to deal with a part time employee, who is addicted to this sort of disconected "style" of discourse, and am useing a disturb and observe approach,and as it seems to go unoticed, is informative in it's own right.

I guess the connection between reading/listening, comprehension and retention ability on the one hand, and language generation ability on the other, isn't as strong as I'd been assuming till now.
