Are the captioned phrases are the same?


Have you ever noticed that when you ask a question, people answer every question except the one you asked. And when they say stuff, they say everything except what they actually mean.

The problem is that they think they’re communicating perfectly clearly, even when they aren’t. Wait a second. I think I communicate perfectly clearly. Maybe I don’t? Or to bring it on home: It's possible that you think you communicate clearly, but you actually don’t.

This is an American expression which means 'to make something very clear'

I believe it comes from the game of baseball but I am not sure as I am not American

I thought it meant to come to the conclusion.
