"Deaf" doesn't mean they can't grasp concepts and form them or can't "tell apart" words from their shapes and so on. They're not blind, they just can't hear themselves and others speak, right? Unless they're blind and deaf, they can still see and observe. (I'm assuming "deaf" means "no hearing aids".) And I've heard deaf people tend to think very visually.

But to grasp a concept, you must be exposed to it at least once to twice, through visual cues, surroundings and books, movies and so on. For Baam, he was exposed to nothing. So, I'm just wondering where he came up with evidence, that served as basis for his thoughts and which led him to arrive at the concept he was trapped in the cave.

At the least, I'm suspecting perhaps he wasn't aware he was already slightly literate. And he might have just forgotten how to speak. But we'll see...
