I appreciate the sincerity and depth of your analysis. This nicely wraps words around a concept which I had considered, but never organized well, and previously never expressed. Nice work

Well, that was mostly inspired by something known as Grice's Maxims. I read about them years ago and immediately thought someone should write extensively on how discourse in reality not only often relies on assuming them, but also frequently subverts them, cooperatively or maliciously. But I'm too lazy.
Even better -- you've now given me a term to research further!
