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.

Not to mention that we humans lack perfect attention, so who knows how much was actually heard and processed in the first place 😅

The question is if information exchange (one subject intentionally wishing to share information with another subject) is the main function of communication. Niklas Luhman suggested otherwise: the function of communication is to communicate. See Luhman, What is Communication?
