It gets especially stupid during Barry's speeches in the court, where he doesn't use a microphone or anything like that, and yet everyone can perfectly hear him.
** And on a related note, when Barry [[spoiler:gets promoted to a Pollen Jockey and puts on his new uniform]], Vanessa can perfectly see it. Despite Barry standing on top of a plane's wing and Vanessa standing probably a good distance away.
