Heintz & Scott-Phillips's hypothesis that the topic range and type diversity of human expressive communication gains support from consilience with prior accounts of market exchange as fundamental to unique human niche construction, and of mindshaping as much more important than mindreading. The productivity of the idea is illustrated by the light it might shed on why elephants seem to engage in continuous social communication for little evident purpose.
海因茨和斯科特 - 菲利普斯的假设认为，人类表达性交流的主题范围和类型多样性得到了支持，这源于它与先前关于市场交换的描述相一致，而市场交换是独特人类生态位构建的基础，且心智塑造比心智解读更为重要。该观点的启发性体现在它可能有助于解释为什么大象似乎在没有明显目的的情况下进行持续的社会交流。
