All the time. Some stuck have stuck in my head. Once in a fraught technical exchange, an example was contrived regarding goegraphical place and temperature. One party talked about handling degrees and meant either latitude or temperature (I forget which), the other party took it as the other (temperature or latitude), and argument ensued over bogus handling of data. I attempted to alert them as to what the misunderstanding was, and they both glared at me and said to stay out of it. Took a bunch of time in a meeting involving at least 13 people to finally converge.
There is a missing maxim about being welcome to engage in the conversation in the first place.
