Humans are really good at handling 'fuzzy' input. Something that is supposed to have meaning, and should if everything were heard perfectly, but which has some of the context garbled or wrong.

At least, assuming they have the proper context. Humans mostly fill in the blanks based on what they /expect/ to hear.

Maybe someday we'll get to a point where a device we classify as a 'computer' hosts something we would classify as an 'intelligent life form'; irrespective of origin. Something that isn't an analog organic processor inside of a 'bag of mostly salty water'. At that point persistent awareness and context(s) might provide that life form with a human-like meaning to exchanges with humans.
