Since there's no relationship between sounds and characters, they can't just "draw" one in their mind to at least get close and be able to look it up and zoom in on it, even given they know how to use a Chinese dictionary. Ya gotta SEE it to find out what it means, or ask the guy saying it to DRAW it for you! It's gotta be a handicap! How in hell is it these guys are winning? And ... why has no one thought to write a law against writing stupid laws? Makes perfect sense to me. Make the punishment a capital offense and empower people to shoot the idiots on sight. Population control, smaller and less invasive governments, lower taxes, ... all sorts of neat things would come along with it.
