I think that it just might be one of those complex and divers anatomy things. ;-) Bodies are very complex and aren't always doing just one thing. And then you have differences in how things work from one person to the next. I am sure that people had a hard time with speech, and that is just one small part of the body. We are talking about it in entirety.
