If a balanced Babble and Prune game is supposed to involve one Artist against one Critic, then having an overactive Prune is like pitting a pitchfork-wielding mob of Critics against one Artist. The first three Critics tar-and-feather the Artist and the rest are just there for moral support.
In my internal experience, there are multiple sources of babble. A thousand artists crying out at once.
I suspect a lot of neural machinery is at work here, and that the babbler, like the gates, is secretly many many voices speaking in semi-unison. This goes beyond the usual “classifying emotions” and/or “splitting one’s thoughts into subpersonas”. The implication is that each individual voice within the babble-stream can be enhanced, just like each individual gate can be isolated.
