It can also be a cyclic issue. Some people have been on the receiving end of this, and decide to hold the “talking stone” for as long as possible with “um, and then, so, like” to prevent being cut off or interrupted.

Calm, orderly discussion where everyone’s given a chance to talk is harder to find, and promotes the right social behaviors where people are allowed to pause to plan their thoughts.
