Indeed, that's what I also thought this would be about; What a bummer.

Someone should post that article instead, lol. I'd love to discuss why I am able to comprehend and read a language almost fully but cannot speak it.

Search for "Broca and Wernicke" to learn more about the distinct areas of the brain responsible for producing vs processing language.

I probably don't have the best reference at hand, but reducing language to a handful of brain areas like Wernicke and Broca seems to be in flux recently (while more research seems needed)[0].

Production is different from reception.

Compare the ease with which you recognize a bicycle and the difficulty of drawing one.

It’s not the mechanics of the pencil alone although that plays a role a well. But even if you could somehow imprint perfect lines like you imagine them, the bicycle and the lightening etc will not be realistic unless you are a trained artist.
