Question of the Year

Really, at the end of the day, what the difference between "misunderstanding" and "disagreement"?

I want this explicated. I don't know where to start.

More and more, as I work with brilliant superstar academics and read criticism that doesn't always agree with me, I question whether I disagree or misunderstand.

Intuitively, the way one answers (or understands??) this question would, at some level, inform his or her understanding of politics.
