Possibly, although you could misunderstand a misunderstanding in a way that create a second misunderstanding. This could cause the original misunderstanding participants to then create a third misunderstanding of your misunderstanding of the original misunderstanding. This could conceivably continue forever, collapsing all of the known universe into an infinite series of misunderstandings

Don’t understand an overpass during a tornado.
It’s easy to prove that your showerthought is valid if and only if you are speaking about Boolean variables.
There are ininite ways to be weong, but few ways to be right.
Might want to get back in the shower and give this one a bit more thought
I think you misunderstood how misunderstandings work.
Tell that to my wife – I bet I’d still be wrong
