Sure, and furthermore I agree with everything said so far. I'll try again in a more positive framing:
Conversation is the medium of roleplay, but as we've established that's a lot broader than someone might assume.
Conversation includes the things we say and our unstated meanings(subtext), but also the things we reveal unintentionally or against our will.
I think that unintentional revelation is a really key part of roleplay. I think that it's vital within the minute-to-minute experience, and also in the month-to-month experience. (The opportunity for social bonding in roleplaying is a big deal.)
