Re: The Culture explores 40K II: Now With 100% more Fanfiction
If astropathic choirs cannot send condensed information then how do they do things like coordinate galaxy-wide information/commands? Symbolic images, no matter how significant, cannot transmit information accurately and its not a complete language. Accuracy and completeness are both required to use them for command and control.
It also means that astropathic choirs become a very insecure form of communication since you have to transmit in the clear instead of in code.
