Precision, magnanimity, equanimity, honesty, competence, loyalty, charity, etc. If you don't think these are skills, see what happens when we don't practice them. :) I really don't think it needs unpacking because everyone else on the thread seems to understand. However, using the pretext of a misinterpretation to legitimize a critical view is a good example of a political dynamic. "It's unclear, clarify it to me and I'll signal understanding when it aligns with my view," is a way of patronizing the topic and isn't an honest inquiry. The form of the question positions the questioner as a performative gatekeeper instead of an inquirer. I think the kids call it "sealioning," these days.
