This is true to an extent, in which paralanguage (jargon for nonvocal
language) can add meaningful and nuanced layers of communication.
However, our brains can only hold a limited number (approximately
seven:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory) of concurrent
information streams at equal attention.  It would be quite difficult
to communicate say, the lord's prayer in a stack of 60+ simultaneously
delivered layers!
