Your comparison is inapt. One tweet in your timeline can not drown out other tweets.

That's not entirely true. Twitter doesn't show you all tweets in chronological order, it has some kind of sorting algorithm like Facebook. If you follow enough people popular tweets and tweeters definitely drown out less popular ones

I never said that, nor do I think that was implied.

You did. There is no concept of "volume" on Twitter in the way that a passerby in Medieval Wherever would miss some information over other.
