Have I ever nodded on a basketball court? Yes. Will I nod just because I have a double whistle with my partner? Not a chance. If it is something that comes naturally, I will do it. I will leave the acting to someone else.
I do not do anything for acting purposes; I do what I do for communication purposes. Because many times a partner cannot hear me, I might do something to get them to understand me. Honestly I never really thought of it that much until I read this here. I only do something to communicate better, not to put on an act or do something artificial. That being said, I have no problem with your position or your reasoning. Not everything one person does works for another person. That is the nature of what we do.
