A humourous take on principles of communication between humans has been written down in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiio%27s_laws#The_laws where the first rule is:
"Communication usually fails, except by accident"

I highly value Batchelders efforts to codify how to succeed against all odds.

People on the autism spectrum[1] learn this very early in their lives: you *will* be misunderstood and you *will* be accused of bad intentions. So you try to mitigate and learn all the ways it can go wrong. Ironically, it makes a lot of them much better communicators than many neurotypicals, out of sheer necessity.
