> Different areas of the cortex are far less specialized than you seem to think. We process language via vision (sign language) just as readily as via hearing. We process vision just as readily via touch (experimental transducer array) as via sight.

This is just false, you don't know what you are talking about. It's been known for some time that sign language is processed in the same parts of the brain as spoken language.

Nope - research is ongoing and it's way more subtle than that.

I'm telling you you are wrong and don't know anything.

You don't even understand the link you posted which says the exact opposite of what you are claiming: That sign language uses Broca's area (the part of the brain believed to be connected to language) just as spoken and written language do.

You're not telling me anything .. you're just ranting a bunch of gibberish.

Calm down.
