But I think the point was that even though we think we do this, research has
shown that we are not as accurate at doing it as we think we are. If we pay
attention to the specific words said, we are actually more accurate in
interpreting the message.

I definitely think this is pertinent to cohousing and specifically to the
issue of what works on email and what needs a meeting.
