In Found: The First Mechanical Gear in a Living Creature, discussion has spread off to the design qualities of the human eating-speaking system.
Perhaps we can have a separate thread for it here.
It starts here: Message 6
My argument is that the system as we have it is pretty good at doing what it needs to do; though it presents the risk of choking to death, the alternative designs presented are far more complicated and 'hardware heavy' than what they benefit the species in way of removing the choking hazard.
The counter arguments are that a system completely separating speech/breathing from eating would be ideal to such a degree as to warrant the excess hardware and all the complications that might come along with this.
