To perhaps at first sincerely misunderstand what another person says, and to ask them to straighten out your initial impression of what they meant certainly doesn't seem to me to involved "putting any words in anybody's mouth." Clarification is an essential part of any discussion of complex ideas, I think. So I trust this doesn't mean we can't question each other on what each other means. That would be counterproductive.
what do wish to talk about?
