Nice link, thanks for sharing.
Normal, non-argumentative conversation is a good place to practice noticing misunderstandings. (Just stuff like assumptions about who's going where, when something is taking place, or where people are starting from) Since the participants aren't trying to win an argument, its easier to take a step back and realize that you're not on the same page. Doing this a few times makes it easier to do in "arguments".
If you're talking with someone with a similar inferential landscape as you and it seems like they're talking about something completely different, there's a pretty good chance that they're talking about something completely different.
And if they're not inferentially close, you're really probably talking about different things. Mind the gap.
