Exactly. Social exchanges aren't graded test questions. You don't need to be perfectly accurate or precise. Best to keep things high level so the conversation only goes to the level of depth in a topic that the participants are all interested in. As a stereotypical socially stunted geek, I was late in figuring that out. And it still takes effort to practice. E.g. Initially I had my whole 'conversation is a pathfinding problem through a social graph of interests' theory typed out in this comment. And that's far too much, too fast.
