While never dismissing your post, but only in agreement, the thought of communication only stirred further thought to this early morning member. What arrived was how easily communication can breakdown even with a heart's intent. So, after two clicks and light as a feather fingertip typing while attempting to add humor to the subject of communition, I submit:
Osmo Wiio gives us some communication maxims similar to Murphy's law (Osmo Wiio, Wiio's Laws--and Some Others (Espoo, Finland: Welin-Goos, 1978):
*If communication can fail, it will.
*If a message can be understood in different ways, it will be understood in just that way which does the most harm.
*There is always somebody who knows better than you what you meant by your message.
*The more communication there is, the more difficult it is for communication to succeed.
These tongue-in-cheek maxims are not real principles; they simply humorously remind us of the difficulty of accurate communication. (See also A commentary of Wiio's laws by Jukka Korpela.)
Peace,
Parker
