PM: "X party needs to know about Y thing"

"Tell them [very specific answer targeted at X party]"

PM: "They are still asking about Y, see their response with the follow up question"

Then in the original send of [specific thing] PM has transformed it into [something else]. X party has followed up with a question that was answered by [specific thing]. Yes PM you might have been confused but you weren't the target.

This cycle happens very often.
