I suspect "overtly adversarial environment" applies to a large chunk of all communication. Perhaps even most. People will willfully interpret any communication

I suspect "overtly adversarial environment" applies to a large chunk of all communication. Perhaps even most. People will willfully interpret any communication to suit their own agendas.
- guerrilla 5y agoI think maybe you mean misinterpret? Or maybe we need a new word: disinterpret.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoI think interpret was accurate already. I will definitely interpret something differently from someone else without either of us necessarily being guilty of active perversion.
- guerrilla 5y agoThen you're "interpreting differently" = misinterpret. Everyone interprets everything to understand it at all but you misinterpret it when you understand it differently than intended. And maybe you disinterpret when you do so intentionally.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoIncorrect.
