Well, I'm going to say one more thing, and then shut up in this thread. But I have told my T about a zillion times, "You've gotten it wrong." And then maybe he crosses his arms and tells me to "school" him in what's right. Or he smiles his amused-at-me smile and moves on. Or he acknowledges I have a point. Or he says something to add context or complexity or a window into something I haven't considered. I may or may not acknowledge he has a point. Sometimes we explicitly agree that we will always disagree about it.

So from my own experience, I can't imagine what conversation should engender the scenario laid out above. I'm puzzled as to why it should be an impasse. I feel that there isn't enough information in the icons to get what's going on.

That's just my reaction. I am not criticizing the expressive choices and maybe I also didn't get that this is not even written to me or other posters here-- if it is just written to the T, then I don't know why I'm even here in the first place.
