I understand the basic idea, AAT and all that. I’m just saying that if I set out to describe and rank the ways in which people express disagreement, “I agree” wouldn’t be on the list.
Edit: That is, it’s not that DH7 assumes the argument is wrong, just that you disagree with it. As long as you disagree, it’s generally “better”—less logically rude—to use higher levels of the hierarchy than lower. If you find that you can’t, then it might be time to update towards your opponent.

So maybe rename it a dialogue hierarchy?
