One time a Jew of questionable ethics and hashkafos came trying to meet the sfas emes with following question. We know that Hashem does not make miracles for naught, so why by matan Torah did we have the miracle of “roim es a kolos” (seeing the sounds). The Sfas Emes refused to see this person (because of the prohibition of seeing the face of a rasha). The son of the Sfas Emes (R’ Avraham Mordechai) who knew of this person and his writings told him that he was the reason for the miracle.

At Har Sinai he would have heard the above words as ?? ????, ??? ????; ??? ????. Meaning that as opposed to it being a prohibition, Hashem was instructing certain people that there job was to be murderers, thieves etc. Therefore to prevent anyone from misunderstanding anything, the miracle was created so that everyone understood it was ?? ????, ??? ????; ??? ???? with an alef.
