> The median delay between human speakers during a conversation is 0ms (zero). In other words, in many cases, the listener starts speaking before the speaker is done.

This reminds me of a great diversity training at a previous employer, where we dug into the different expectations of when and how to take your turn in conversation and how that can create a lot of friction just from different cultural/familial habits. In my family, we’re expecting to talk over each other and it’s not offensive at all to do so, whereas some of my friends really get upset if we don’t take clear turns, a mode which would cause high levels of irritation in my family (and still do in me).
