The same dynamic exists in a [[negotiation]]. The [[JC]] snookered himself into using a [[quadrant|four-box quadrant]] to illustrate this — he has an irrational fear of anything [[Thought-leader|thought-leaders]] are fond of — but they do seem to fit here because there are two perpendicular axes at play: ''How many'' people are you speaking to, and ''in what medium''.

How ''many'' people are in your audience? The more there are, the more [[formal]] you must be, the more generalised, the less opportunity for there is for nuance and that lubricating milk of human frailty, ''wit''. The more people, the narrower will be their common interest. Plainly, the more people there are, the greater will be the cultural, social and human barriers to ''unguarded constructive communication''.
