You also have to believe that a bunch of beeps on the speaker is real

Or that a bunch of lit pixels on the screen is.
Nice strawman. The pixels form a full complete picture. Beeps are just

One dimensional. That they form a recognizable pattern does not
make them more. Humans are highly visual creatures.
Which is why it was said, for many centuries, I suppose, that it's
speech that separates us from the animals. (We're a lot less visually
oriented than a lot of other species.)
I have listened to

I have listened to Turkish for years. Being able to make out a few

But there are a lot of Turks who feel otherwise.
