I just realized recently the potential for conflict between Ne and Ni. To be honest, it's not something that I've thought much about as I've always believed I get along rather well with people that have a strong preference for Ne (INTP, ENFPs for example).

What do you think about it? What kinds of conflicts do you see that you would attribute to a difference in a preference for Ne vs Ni? Why are they important to understand?

Ne and Ni will see each other as myopic. If you don't think so, you need to go debate an INTP long enough until you both believe the other completely clueless.
Ne goes for breadth, Ni goes for depth. Ne goes for everything possible in the now, Ni goes for everything possible in the future. Each will see the other as ignoring huge sets of possibility.
Oro is seeing it as short-sighted, because Ne sees this huge landscape that Ni very often misses. Similarly, Ni sees possibilities and options that Ne often misses, because Ne is thinking "space-like" while Ni is thinking "time-like".
