I just cannot tell you how much I agree with you, RomanSunburn!!!
The idea that communication is of utmost importance has been peeving me to no end because when people are seriously into one another, they do not need so many
words to understand one another!!!
Put another way, yes, the idea that communication is of utmost importance is ENTIRELY CORRECT, but
only if communication is understood to encompass ALL communication, including non-verbal communication, context (say, above, what High Treason said about the context that changes how a stand-alone remark is perceived), body language etc. Then yes. But not as in "let us hold both short daily sync-ups and hour-long weekly meetings on the status of our relationship" - then you might as well stay within the corporate world 24/7...
