Noise

Often, a conversation can get noisey and you can loose a signal.

Loudest Noise

In all types of listening, there's a good chance that what gets documented is the loudest noise. Sometimes this is useful as the documenter can listen to a signal of a specific group or channel and record any noises they hear. Sometimes, it's a lot, sometimes it's a little, but in either situation the loudest noise will get recorded so it's nice to be #polite.

When the documenter is listening to a group or channel, often there are noisey unfamiliar actors. If we have no intention of identifying the actor, we can call this communication anonymous. Because of the nature of this, it's best to keep it #casual; kickme.

Dreads

If you don't let it scare you because you might of accidentally touch something gross, you can easily tell the difference if it's a matte or a burr or something else.

Bias

Other times, we have been conditioned to feel one sort of way or another. If something hurts us, we are adversarial or avoidant, at least for a while, there no way around that no matter how tough we are. If we didn't have this involuntary reflex, frankly I wouldn't know how we'd survive as a species.
