A C++ user could never make novel assembly that C++ couldn’t already target without also being able to deal in assembly.
So your concept may explain all the speaking in only old metaphors, but in the end they synthesize a new one: Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel. So they clearly could still use the underlying languag.
Also, Dathon listened to Picard tell a story, and Dathon seemed engaged with language as a narrative. This means Dathon was able to grasp the story as constructed from words he ostensibly wouldn’t have understood?
Well, it’s important to remember that Picard wasn’t the only one there trying to figure the other guy out. Dathon was trying, too. So it’s like a C++ user spending enough time observing an assembly coder that he was able to invent ONE novel C++ command.

But Dathon didn’t make it out alive, so whatever understanding he gained died with him.
