This was really interesting to me to read. I once got some excellent advice on screenwriting and dialogue - nobody ever says what they mean, but they always say something designed to get what they want. It's true ... since then I think a lot about what people really want when they say they want honesty. For instance, if they say they want honesty in a romantic relationship. Nobody goes out to find a partner who's going to lie about everything and cheat on them, so what do they mean when they bring up something that should go without saying? My mind always goes to "I want the right to say whatever I want to you, as well as the right to call you irrational if you react to that in a way I don't like."
