The words of the ideals are widely shared. The understanding of those ideals and the definitions of those words are not.

Correctly tends to mean "the same as me'" Given the nature and plasticity of language this is not fully possible--although there can be a great deal of congruence.

What is key is understanding what the other person means when they say X (to the best of your ability)--the understanding is, I think, more important than the congruence because it establishes a basis to build congruence--it is prior.
