I find a lot of times when I'm talking to people they tell me they disagree with me but then I get them to listen to me say the same thing again with more emphasis on some part and they realize they can't argue with what I'm saying. Usually this is when I say something they haven't thought about before. Regardless, the point is I realize that they edit while listening. They hear, simplify it down in their head and then respond. Through dialogue this can be resolved if I'm listening to them carefully, but it just goes to show how hard writing is. You don't get that feedback on the page and yet we still tend to just make each point once, assuming the reader took in the whole point, nuance and all. No doubt they did not. No doubt I often do not when I read.
