An interesting compromise would be to use symbols where there are almost
identical shared referents, but use modality encoding - telepathy - for
anything else. Of course, this requires X finding out whether Y shares a
symbol with X, preferably using a lower-bandwidth method than sending Y
the entire symbol for comparison.
