It is one of the challenges we all face and I believe is a result of our relatively sophisticated method of communication and vivid imagination. Look at the potential for a mistake: we dont always accurately see or hear things, we don't always accurately remember things, we don't always accurately say or describe things and on it cycles, but to get on in life we have to get things done, so we will often interpret information we receive rather than to stop and check everything.
I guess that has a lot to do with our complicated lives. I remember a little while back some trick cyclist forwarded the hypothesis that those who read quickly are more likely to interpret the content in a positive light whereas those who digested every word would be more likely to question the subject. Pretty obvious I know but it does prove your point that no two people will interpret the information in front of them in the same way.
Thus is the beauty of debating.
