No, Warb, I don’t think any less of you. This is actually pretty wonky deep-level stuff here, and jumping from zero background into the deep end is a kinda hard transition–in spite of my attempts to dumb it down, but you asked 😉

I referenced a documentary on cochlear implants: for a more nuanced and detailed discussion, I recommend giving it a try. It’s called Sound and Fury. There are probably others too. There’s complexity to the arguments certainly. But since it’s so far outside the mainstream culture, you’re doing well simply to know there’s an argument at all.

As for Jesus curing the lepers… Bloody do-gooder. (Life of Brian reference)
