This is affirming, and a unique perspective, but ultimately not how the situation is viewed. I agree with the study of communication. But if someone is seen as not being able to produce speech as the majority of people around them are, they're going to be viewed as not having good communication skills. Any other interpretation is florid word games. To your point, I'd offer that people with dysfluency are able to offer more effective, efficient speech because they know that their speech has to essentially say more while being less. That's a novel view, but not flying with any interviewer.
