With you, too, Vladimir, I suspect our anticipations do not differ, but our language for talking about these subtle things is slightly different, and thus it takes a bit of work for us to understand each other.
This would require that we both have positions that accurately reflect reality, or are somehow synchronously deluded. This is a confusing territory, I know that I don’t know enough to be anywhere confident in my position, and even that position is too vague to be worth systematically communicating, or to describe some important phenomena (I’m working on that). I appreciate the difficulty of communication, but I don’t believe that we would magically meet at the end without having to change our ideas in nontrivial ways.
I just mean that our anticipations do not differ in a very local sense. As an example, imagine that we were using ‘sound’ in different ways like Albert and Barry. Surely Albert and Barry have different anticipations in many ways, but not with respect to the specific events closely related to the tree falling in a forest when nobody is around.
