	In order to have fun playing the game, the person transmitting the original message must ''know what the original message was.'' People laugh when they see how far apart what they heard or said was from the original. But that action of comparing what was heard or said to an ''authentic version of the original message'' points to the kind of methods to be used to overcome garbling: ''keep on comparing what was heard to the original message; reject what does not match; "hold fast to what is good" (1 Thes 5:21).''

			== Hasty Generalizations ==

			The meaning of the Telephone Game is itself garbled in transmission. It does not prove that "all stories decay in transmission." It proves that ''if'' you want to preserve a transmission, you need to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

			== The Moral of the Story ==

			The reality of garbling in oral transmissions of information shows why we need a [[magisterium]], a living voice that can authoritatively declare what is or is not consistent with the [[Deposit of Faith.]] Newman: "No authority to interpret, no revelation."
