Random thought.
How little must one speak to give even the most routine of sentences immense meaning? On the opposite side of the fulcrum, how tarnished may powerful words and statements become from one who speaks often?
The source of the words often does not matter as much as the brain between the ears receiving those words.
Some people value repetition and close camaraderie. Others, as I think you're suggesting, are more impressed when a normally-quiet voice actually speaks up.
Communication is a funny, funny system. It's SO much easier to miscommunicate than it is to accurately communicate ... and no matter what, no matter how well one speaks, or how often one speaks ... the speaker can only control 50% of the communication relationship.
Politicians make or break their careers based on how well they understand and utilize this concept. It doesn't matter what you want to say, or how you want to say it .... what matters is what does the listener want to hear, and what will get them to listen ...
