…I’m presuming what Redway means is similar to an expression of ‘tone deaf’ not being used in the actual meaning way but being ‘selective in what is heard’ or ignoring something that is said because it doesn’t fit with a narrative/agenda, maybe…?…someone who is insensitive/unaware etc…anyway, my interpretation of not having sharp ears is another expression for ‘tone deaf’….interesting things we learn in other people’s irritations…that’s not an expression I was familiar with…
