Most mortals don't understand human language. They're parrots, they repeat what they think they're supposed to say, with no understanding of meaning and semantics.
This is important, because it's impossible to keep your word if you yourself don't know what you said you were going to do.
Corollary: it's impossible to avoid hypocrisy if you don't know which words describe your own actions.
Hack: if they have a limited set of promises, they can be painstakingly trained to ritualistically associate the proper words with their associated promise.
