What % communication loss is there between two people in a verbal conversation? Between unclear word choices, differences in the preloaded constructs in each party’s head, and differing emotions and incentives it feels like it averages to north of 20%? Curious what others think.

Difficult to put a percentage on it. For describing qualia or difficult ideas there is probably a big loss. But for more practical things the loss is a lot lower. Also depends a lot on how similar your life has been so far.
