Baby-talk is a universal human phenomenal and almost certainly plays an important role in helping kids learn language.

The implication that not using baby talk somehow unlocks rapid development of language is simply not true.

Conversely, it's also very funny to respond to self-important adults babbling nonsense with baby talk.
