You must remember to that the Dragonborn is different from the Greybeards. Kynareth gave humans the ability to speak the dragon language and anyone with enough time and effort can learn it. Those that learn this way are the Greybeards and worship Kynareth culminating into a type of "religion" and they dont fight using the voice(minus Ulfric Stormcloak whose is the odd one out and drauger who were dragon priest followers). The Dragonborn gets his/her ability from Akatosh which means that the strictly for worship part doesn't apply. Which if you question Ageir he replies that it was the dragonborns choice whether to follow the way of the voice or not. The Paarthunax dilemma is the players choice and I have played it both ways same as the imperial or stormcloak choices. It didn't matter to me whether I new where shouts were located or whether I could empower them or not so I chose the blades more often.
