Why does weak dialogue clarity undermine storytelling even in simple scenes?

Example Concept: Dialogue clarity is crucial because it serves as the primary vehicle for narrative and emotional information in most scenes. When dialogue is unclear, either due to poor recording, excessive background noise, or inadequate mixing, it can cause confusion and disconnect the audience from the story. Sound designers use techniques such as EQ to enhance vocal frequencies, compression to control dynamics, and spatial separation to ensure dialogue stands out against other elements.
