I really don't understand why people have this misconception that we can't tell others' intentions in acting. We do this all the time, every day. Most commonly, we determine what others intend with their words, gestures, facial expressions, and body language. We decide whether someone intends a post or remark as ironic (smilies help). We figure out when someone is a threat, or a pest, or interested in us. The only people who struggle to figure out others' intentions are the autistic: this is in fact the hallmark of autism.
Reading intentions on the basketball court is all in a day's work.
