People seem to have some terrible difficulty of understanding the difference b/w “Most people don’t do <x>”, and “It’s theoretically possible to do <x>”.

People seem to have some terrible difficulty ...

All / most / some people? Or just the person you responded to?

There are multiple reason why the way people communicate is important, one of which is the limited logical reasoning capability of most people.

Just look at politics / marketing / dark patterns / mortgage contracts.

I successfully changed my sister's mind from variable rate mortgage to fixed mortgage, as the language of the contract doesn't explicitly write how bad the worst case option can be 10 years from now for variable rate mortgage.
