It's pretty simple really. Without other people saying things I wouldn't understand numbers to the extent that I do.
If people understood that I was not understanding counting correctly, they would find a different way to say it until I understood.
Now if another person isn't partly responsible for what I understood then they aren't responsible for what they said either.
That's fine, but if I was always going to not understand something, and they were always going to say something, we were always going to communicate in miscommunication.
So if you are going to take a narrow view that someone is responsible for something then that someone is partly responsible for both, and if you are taking a wider view then no one is responsible for what they said and no one is responsible for how another person understood it.
