Roger's premise does not contain that presumption. His point is agnostic to the claim that receiver of the information takes from the conversation the intended point. His point is that the _structure_ is inherently that of a network on both the sending and receiving end.
I would note, though, that there is one somewhat significant fly in the ointment. Roger's basic point is the storing, serialization, and parsing of XML is roughly similar to that of human conceptions. I would note that XML is limited to acyclic networks whereas human conception certainly is not.
