When you have to read bet­ween the lines.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This is the nine­teenth in a series of posts reflec­ting on our willin­gness to remem­ber and the qua­li­ty of that know­ledge. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

The unders­tan­ding of speech is, in my opi­nion, at two levels. The first level is the lite­ral level. We can say that if we are tal­king about a concept that is com­plex to unders­tand for kin­der­gar­ten pupils, we can unders­tand that the concept in ques­tion is com­plex to unders­tand for kin­der­gar­ten pupils. Easy, isn’t it?

The second level is found in the unsaid, in subt­le­ty. For example, if you don’t unders­tand a concept and I say, “You don’t unders­tand this concept? It’s indeed a com­plex concept for kin­der­gar­ten pupils to unders­tand,” what could you fail to deduce? Are you going to stu­pid­ly say to your­self, if a kin­der­gar­te­ner nor­mal­ly has dif­fi­cul­ty unders­tan­ding this concept, then it’s nor­mal for me to have dif­fi­cul­ty unders­tan­ding it? Or are you going to give me a disap­pro­ving look and infer that I’m com­pa­ring your level of unders­tan­ding to that of a todd­ler? In that case, I would defi­ni­te­ly go with the second option.

I didn’t have to cla­ri­fy that, given your misun­ders­tan­ding, I consi­de­red you to be weak-min­ded, but the deduc­tion is no less obvious. How about a more refi­ned example?
