Forum:What is the point of Avoxes?

Ok so we all know that the way the Capitol punishes people is to turn them into Avoxes. But why? I guess cutting their tongues so they never speak again is a pretty good punishment but this is the Capitol we're talking about! Maybe they could do something like turning them into mutts or something. I mean, someone who's tongue was cut by the Capitol must really hate the Capitol, right? So maybe all the Avoxes could just come up with a code and a plan to overthrow the Capitol? And no one was worried that something like this would happen? Yes, I know that, being Avoxes, they wouldn't be able to talk but come on, how easy is it to tell someone, say, the word walk or walking with their two fingers and other hand? Does anyone else agree?
