It is my guess , that contact fighting , wrestling , even tackling in football is a communication. In the case of language propagated by voice , we assume that the receiver has the same look up table. That is unlikely. I often chuckle about a twenty month old boy getting hell from his mother because he repeatedly digs the soil out of a planter and the mother is yelling "You are killing the plant". In my small mind , I ask myself, If I was twenty months old , I also would want to know what killing the plant means, and would repeatedly dig all the soil away until it, the response occurred. A twenty month old boy may know two hundred words. A sentient mother would realize , let him dig or just pick him up and smile. Someday give him a bean plant and his own small pot of soil , and try to explain the process in his words. To scale this back up to two twenty year olds, -Yes , the above is a communication problem , but the older we get the more likely we are to jump to the conclusion. Two sixty year olds use different words than two twenty year olds. Any other difference like male - female , french - english , east coast -- west coast complicates. We are quite successful at communication because facial expression , and other factors communicate also. If you mention religion, there are black holes of communication. This what the first article talks about. . It is not possible to understand a voice stream if one of the words violates the receiver's religious code. The communicator continues assuming that the words are neutral when in fact the words are now poisonous. Humans use body language , facial expression , eye contact , smell , physical contact , just like any social mammal does. Social mammals have evolved a communication method. We are social mammals and we have enough brain power to remember every single event from conception to death. We continue to invent new communication methods. In closing , I do agree that we should try to listen until the sender finishes , but often our devices have battery failure.
