I guess what has cornfused me from the start about this is that I find 
myself unable to process information bidirectionally like that, so I've 
never asked someone to talk and let me talk at same time to see what 
happens.

However I'm not sure what cell service you use, but on Sprint I never 
find that I need to do what you are describing.   Meaning I can 
interrupt people while talking to correct them/tell them to stuff it or 
whatever the situation may be.

however if they're using a speakerphone on their end I just need to get 
louder than them which can be annoying at times, but I find that to be 
the case on regular phones hooked to the wall as well.
