The only communication strategy this suggests to me is that there is always some common ground to be found between any two people. That was actually what bugged me about the stated definition of The Usual Error -- people are the same, there is always some similarity between two people. It's always there, and it just has to be found before it can be used to talk reasonably about other topics. :\
Every now and then I get a sick urge to write about an Unusual error, the error of assuming you don't have something in common with another person. But, maybe I'm misinterpreting.
Dunno. *hugs* But at least you see that not everybody's going to percieve you the same way, simply out of their different backgrounds. Takes a long time for some people to figure that out, truly.
