- When we communicate, we also take some responsibility for how our words will be taken.
- As writers, "that's not what I meant to say" is not a good excuse. Our trade hangs on saying precisely what we mean and leaving little room for misunderstanding.
- As data scientists and load testers, it's part of our job to communicate the results in a way that will be understood. If someone misunderstands or can't comprehend a graphic or text that we produce, it's our responsibility to figure out why and how to fix it.
- Ultimately, it's part of our job to make sure everyone understands us. When misunderstandings occur despite our best efforts, we can treat that as a prompt to pair troublesome texts or graphs with more explanations, sometimes in another medium.
