Good point. I didn't think of that, but that's right.

I have seen significant delays in that situation, so maybe a better way to say this is "using text rather than voice for feedback makes the delays introduced this way less psychologically noticeable" (because they are noticeable in the situation you mention).

It is still noticeable. When beam.pro rolled their low latency streaming (~100ms) streamers and chatters commented on how much more enjoyable and natural chatting was when things had less latency.
