Never Underestimate Misunderstanding.

I'm really awed to believe that so many people can speak with so many undeclared assumptions to their professions of knowledge.

Having an "inter-subjective" understanding of where we stand, mentally, that is, how we perceive and respond to information from other humans, or collectively, responses when watching a movie (or viewing a different art form), is really difficult.  Even to get to a place where true disagreement is possible.  A lot of arguing isn't disagreement at all; it is a power play for the most forceful interpretations (which often puts the speaker in the best light).
