I recently had 2 occasions where
I said X
Someone else said, No, Y
I thought they were wrong
I later realized: Not X, but Z
then went back and looked, and saw Y = Z
In both cases, I didn’t understand Y the first time because I had expectations for how X would be misunderstood, and looked for indications of them in Y, and on finding terms and phrases that matched my expectations stopped parsing Y prematurely.
