@aeva So that's _that_ light-hearted tangent.

Now, finally, on to my actual point.

As alluded to in both of these digressions, I deeply care both about understanding what I am doing, and about being understood.

Often to my detriment. I shouldn't care as much as I do. It's not something I can turn off. And like it or not, it's directly intertwined with my need for human connection.
