The statement that "the receiver will always interpret the sender's message correctly if the sender and receiver are equally skilled at communication" is not true because there are various factors that can lead to miscommunication, such as cultural differences, language barriers, different personal experiences, and biases. Therefore, even if both the sender and receiver are skilled communicators, there is still a possibility of misinterpretation.
