Same road different view

On a walk I typically like to do a loop instead of going half way and then back, thinking I’m walking the same route. Yet the walk back from the first half is a totally different view as the surroundings and objects in the distance will of course be different. This was doubly so when the kid was trying to describe somewhere on the way to me but from the perspective of walking from the other direction. I wonder how much of our communication has this biase which leads to confusion?
