>>>. paraphrasing is all we have to examine our perception of what someone else might mean<><><>. Back in the early 70's one of my class's principle precepts was to, as a listener, repeat back to the speaker what you 'thought' you heard the speaker say and confirm that you heard the expressed thought(s) correctly. Only then would you precede with the discussion.
Is that what you were trying to express in my pasted clip?
