Do you think intention is more important or perception is more important? (lemmy.today)

Right, gotcha. I thought OP meant as personal traits, which didn't make sense as I don't see how someone's abilities or skills to perceive the world can be compared to what they want to do.

To answer, in your case, I'd say intention is more important

The fact that you misinterpreted what OP meant leans toward perception though.

I also found the misunderstanding funny in context, however note there was a productive conversation out of it in which I managed to understand their intention.

If intention had no importance I don't think I would have bothered.
