“Can you try passing my ITT, so that I can see where I’ve miscommunicated?”
...is a very difficult task even by standards of “good discourse requires energy”. To present anything but a strawman in such case may require more time than the general discussion—not necessarily because your model actually is a strawman but because you’d need to “dot many i’s and cross many t’s”—I think that’s the wording.
(ETA: It seems to me like it is directly related to obeying your tenth guideline.)
That’s an ingenious solution! I still feel like there’s some catch here but can’t formulate it. Maybe because it’s way past midnight here and I should just go to sleep.

I think that it’s fine (and well within the spirit of these guidelines) to reply with something like:
“No, but I can give you my strawman and you can tell me where I’m missing you?”
