It is true, Squire; but the Palantiri were different. Communication through the seeing-stones actually always took place in this way (i.e. words seemingly transmitted straight to the mind).

However the example of the Palantiri can, though, be considered another instance of thought-transmitting in Arda. The stones themselves provided an alleyway for their users through which this should happen directly.
