[side_up_down]

I'd add another sentence to that:

"Understand that even with the best intentions you'll likely still get it wrong."

Objective truth is incredibly unwieldly. It's almost impossible to get right - just considering imperfections in communication alone.

Ever play the game of telephone? One person tells a fact to someone, who tells that fact to another person. Go 3 hops and you're almost certainly going to end with a different fact than you started with.

Each step of knowledge transfer incurs loss - and this applies to all forms of communication.

Information is entropic? Once lost it’s probably hard to restructure it to the original version.

Nice framing. I agree with that interpretation.

I'd argue communication is always an approximation to an ideal, anyways. The original version is going to be incomplete. How adequately can English (or your language of choice) represent a complex event or concept?
