Me thinks you are mistaken.
In case of verbal miscommunication, you can always give the other party a second chance and ask them to repeat or rephrase their statement or you can rephrase yourself if you felt your originals statement was confusing.
In case of written communication there is no second chance to rephrase your statement. What's written is written, and that goes, regardless if it was well understood or not.
