That is what I was referring to. I don't see that you need to contort anything. The story plainly states that without communication problems, man is powerful enough to frighten God, and that the solution God reaches is to introduce communication problems, leaving us stuck in the situation we actually have.
The importance of communication has been recognized for a long time.
I did read your comment as that reference, and I liked it. but I see you got downvoted so I didn't trust myself anymore. thanks for taking the time to confirm.
