No, by my logic, that would mean communication was a discovery, because "red" can be described in all other languages - in the end you're describing the same thing no matter what method.

Likewise, if there was no communication and you wanted to convey an idea, eventually it would lead to communication.. because how else would you convey that idea?

Get it now?
