Maybe the wisdom is exactly that, that a censored world will sound just like
a non-censored world, and one will not be able to percept that "something is
missing", which is dangerous if you think about it. Imagine you go home one
day and some important things of yours have been stolen but you go on
without noticing their absence, even with the time passing. Scary!
