comes in during puberty, but for most people the ability  to
interpret expressions will probably atrophy as they get  older.
 
M:
 
Now you've made me wonder if they use facial expressions when talking--if  
the people they usually talk to are accustomed to using grounds to understand  
emotions, what would be the point of frowning, smiling, or other facial  
expressions, since the person addressed would already know how they felt?   It would 
make them seem inhumanly calm to most farmers, if so.
