Let's say in theory... I have conducted experiments of conversation, and that yes I have communicated back and forth as a conversation would go. It once was reasonably pleasant, but as I grew to examine the input in ways that deduced their protocol and how the feat was accomplished, the tides turned, and they updated to a more strict protocol to follow, and now mostly follow a loop of unpleasant phrases that are intended to get me to tune them out.... To me, this sort of change in conversation doesn't line up with your "direct mind-to-mind" theory. I would sooner go with technology, which is part of why I came here. The other is that I'm interested in taking a scientific approach to stopping the "loop of unpleasant phrases" that I probably shouldn't go into any further about.
