If messages do not report dispatch times, communication prevents previous termcommon learningnext term under general conditions even if previous termcommonnext term knowledge is acquired without communication. If messages report dispatch times, communication can destroy previous termcommon learningnext term under more restrictive conditions. The failure of previous termcommon learningnext term in the two cases is based on different infection arguments. Communication can destroy previous termcommon learningnext term even if it ends in finite time, or if agents communicate all of their information. We also identify conditions under which previous termcommon learningnext term is preserved in the presence of communication.
