A communication failure happens because of two things: a message sent failure, or a message recieved failure.
You'll notice that I'm not the only one who received the message I received.
That means that, while a certain amount of the failure happened on my side, another amount happened on the "sending" side.
In general, in communications studies, we tend to consider a communications failure to usually have the larger portion of the failure happening on the "sender" side. In a typical communication failure, about 70% of the error happens on the sender side -- that's obviously an approximate number, because this isn't something that can be ACTUALLY measured.
Naturally, what I heard fit with my expectations. That's the way that things work, and that's part of the sender side -- what expectations have been set up.
