That’s funny, because that interpretation wasn’t anywhere on my mental horizon. It’s another example of something that has struck me going back to my days as a philosophy double major. Philosophers of language like to play up the power of referentiality and intentionality for communication. What always struck me as more impressive is just how much space there is in any given human communicative act for misunderstanding and how that seems more common, and vastly more undertheorized, than successful communication.
