Since we are all on the same planet, the answer to the first question is obvious:  there is no other option.  If you don't believe that, you belong in a loony bin.

 

RC: So I will put your name in the *unconvinced* column on this issue.

Since we are all on the same planet, the answer to the first question is obvious:  there is no other option.  If you don't believe that, you belong in a loony bin.

 

The answer to the other questions may take some effort to untangle the subtleties.  But the basic method is also simple:  you ask the other person some questions.  For most people, you can get a fairly quick understanding of whether you're on the same "wavelength"

or whether you're talking past one another.

 

John
