Sandwich presumably refers to compliment sandwich, but I don’t know what the helix is. --Galaktos (talk) 14:03, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

- The word "Helix" may be a reference to the previous comic. CategoryGeneral (talk) 14:36, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Grammar
Minor grammatical point; please feel free to skip this. I just tweaked "a communication technique [...] which meaning has not been lost." to "a communication technique [...] whose meaning has not been lost.". "Of which the meaning" or "whose meaning" both work, but the latter is less contrived. People keep forgetting that "whose" can refer to objects, as well as to people. <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whose#Determiner>
The first rule of communication is "Always talk about communication." RegularSizedGuy (talk) 15:36, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Helix
I don't think the "helix" refers to software development. It could be about the helical model of communication, which conveys communication as a non-linear process.
This is perhaps a joke with these simplistic "rules" of communication (like the compliment sandwich), which portray communication as something much simpler.
If we assume that communication is complex and non-linear (as the helical model of communication portrays), we might conclude that there is no such thing as "#1 rule of communication"; something that could be observed by the misuse of the "compliment sandwich". 172.70.47.87 (talk) 15:38+, 25 October 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~) (Assuming all the above is the same IP editor, tweaking their comment.)
