You are so right. Context is very important.
It can be stated, with practically no qualification, that people in general do not know how to listen. They have ears that hear very well, but seldom have they acquired the necessary aural skills which would allow those ears to be used effectively for what is called listening.
Perhaps the same applies to reading?
They don't read to understand or reply to respond, but they reply to get their own opinions across
