You see, comms networks have nice, straightforward protocols for interaction. There’s defined handshakes, everyone’s clear on who the message is for and what’s the actual content versus just the packaging (headers, etc.).
Human to human communication? Now that’s a complicated mess. Can’t always tell what the actual message is, there’s multiple carrier types (body language, voice, etc.) and it’s really bad at handling packets from multiple senders over short periods!
I love when my one friend info dumps their literary passions at me.
They 100% think my eyes are glazing over while I’m pondering the info. Until I have follow up questions and their little autistic face lights up to re-engage.
They’re one of my favorite humans, I should text them 😄

Real life handshakes are a mess too. It’s like a game of rock-paper-scissors.
Is it a high handshake or a low? Ah it’s a fist bump. Oh no wait, it is a low handshake! Grabs the fist
Some don’t have handshakes. Radio broadcasting just infodumps on everyone, which is also what some neurodivergent people wish they could do
