I'm struggling to understand what you mean. Finally being able to communicate strikes you as "only marginally" improved? You really don't think that being able to talk to family, say that you're in pain, ask for an audiobook, helps much at all?

And then you mention life expectancy, which is quantity of life.

There are other systems that provide this ability. This system is not the first and is not the only thing that allows one with this condition to communicate. This is mostly a fluff piece. Quantity and quality both matter.
