that sounds like bs post-hoc justification based on questionable claims.
Burden is on you to supply the citations and make the full argument. Tons of sloppy, mutually contradictory "science" out there

switched Siri to a British male voice (sadly sounded nothing like ) but it listened for replies in a British accent as well
