Yep, that's exactly how human communication ought to work, and the world would be infinitely better if it did. But it doesn't, actually.

I have often been frustrated that my attempts to communicate clearly have failed, but I choose to believe that it’s my fault as a writer, not their fault as a reader.

The alternative is being a jaded, negative person who is unpleasant to work with. It’s too easy, too lazy, to fall into that trap.

Are you disagreeing with their conclusion or just the vibe? You can do both: believe things would be better with some global change, and also accept that won’t happen and do your best with how things are.
