Maybe they don't teach philosophers to listen, I don't know.

I can tell you from experience that 'they' don't. Do you know who does teach this?

I don't know. Certainly there is some emphasis on charitable reading and steelmanning on this forum, but the results are mixed. Maybe it's taught in psychology, nursing and other areas which require empathy.
