A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

That's why it's key to communication to have the person you're speaking with reform the idea and send it back to you. So you can both agree that you have the same idea.
When it's just one person sending the idea, verbally, or even visibly, and the other person just agrees. You don't know the model they've internalized. It's not until they act, or until they re-explain the idea back to you that you can have confidence you have a mutual understanding.
That's why active communication is so critical. You especially see this in crew resource management
Agreed. It's often called steelmanning which is the opposite of strawmanning.

Thank you, that's a phrase I was not familiar with.
It seems more appropriate for critical analysis rather than communication between peers. But it's a great concept
