Anthropologists posit that one of the turning points in human development was a growing ability to communicate. In fiction, one of the turning points in dramatic development was the ability not to communicate. Sometimes this poor communication can be entirely legitimate. After all, miscommunication and misunderstanding happens all the time in real life, and some stories are written with this point in mind. This often happens in mystery stories, such as Detective Conan episodes, in which a murderer kills an innocent victim due to a misunderstanding. Contrast: Just Eat Gilligan, Amnesia Danger.
