Fracturing communication channels hence makes it harder for things to be known (which was the point).

Ive dealt with many humans who fail this test frequently. Like theyll give you instructions with half the necessary details missing because they assume you have the pre-requisite knowledge that happened inside their head.

Yes exactly! They even mentioned in the study I wrote that although this concept sounds like it's quite simple, we often fail it ourselves. Like:

Person 1: Can you move my car?
Person 2: Sure, what does it look like?
Person 1: It's the black one!
Person 2: Sorry, which black one?
Person 1: What are you stupid? THAT ONE! points

I've seen that kind of thing happen a lot.
