theweaselkingHow all human communication fails, except by accident: Wiio's Laws:
1. Communication usually fails, except by accident.
2. If a message can be interpreted in several ways, it will be interpreted in a manner that maximizes damages
3. There is always someone who knows better than you what you meant with your message
4. The more we communicate, the worse communication succeeds
