If I’m not mistaken, it’s because we’re trying to do the AAAAAAAAAA part the entire time. Breathing and yelling do not work together at the same time. I could be wrong though. It seems like the issue comes down to inhaling oxygen being, you know, necessary for continued living, while we’re trying to continue crying.
