> The interviewer cannot guess what's in your brain. Part of being a good communicator is being able to actually spell out your thoughts when necessary

The flip side is when the interviewer doesn't communicate well. Or asks a specific question, but means something slightly different.

I've dealt with that before. Assumed they meant what they said, when the reality was, they were being more precise than intended. My fault for assuming I guess. I now try to clarify the intent, and make clear the precision.
