Many dialogues are simply double monologues.

Which is okay, really. Most people do not listen to each other anyway. They talk to themselves, not to you. You say something, it causes a buzz in their heads, and they talk to the buzz.

One may hope the buzz is pleasant, at least.

And "let's agree to disagree". Does not work.

The proper answer to this should start with 'By the way...'

I do not think 'buzz' is the right word here. Buzz is entirely nonspecific, just a meaningless noise. If you were right most dialogues would sound like Taffy's story. In fact it is more like Senkovsky's 'Theory Of an Educated Conversation' - people are trying to talk about their own subject, but in order to do so they fish for keywords in others' speech. Having caught the conversation by the keyword, they pull it to themselves - or at least try.

I would say its rather the rule than an exception.

Not an exception, certainly. I guess that is how we are wired.
