A similar example: when you don’t understand what someone is saying, it can be helpful to say “I don’t understand. Do you mean X or Y?” instead of just saying “I don’t understand”. This way, even if X and Y are completely wrong, they now have a better sense of where you are and can thus adjust their explanations accordingly.

Yeah, for sure — a great technique for avoiding the Double Illusion of Transparency.
