If I write something and people misunderstand it, is it that I expressed myself badly or that people are just stupid and should realize I am brilliant and say nothing until they agree with me?
That's a leading question
Of course it's neither. Both sides in communication have to try their best to understand the other. Either side can be at fault and often both are.
But as a rule of thumb for writers, the writer is at fault until proven otherwise. This rule helps me develop as a communicator.
