Don't really understand the question...
Surely language and symbology are the basis of human thought. Discussion or argument of a topic can change the views of all people involved. Without this ability to think literally and laterally, taking previous logic - written or spoken and remembered - into account, we wouldn't be able to produce new theories, carry knowledge between people and generally further ourselves as a race: we'd still be (bald ;-) )monkeys.

Yes, I know how glib that sounds...I really couldn't spin this out to an essay, lol

Good luck dude :-)
