Personally, I think the highest level of a disagreement is to transform it into a dialogue, and I’d like a guide to productive disagreements to include that (even if there was a seperate hierarchy for productive dialogues). It seems like there’s a crux here but I don’t know what it is.
What would change your mind about including that as a level on the chart?
Do you think that:
Actually, turning it into a dialogue is a separate move that’s not more effective than steelmanning.
People who saw the chart aren’t ready to hear about turning a disagreement into a dialogue.
It’s dishonest to talk about dialogue on a chart that’s about disagreement.
Good comment. My main problem is that ‘turning it into a dialogue’ is not a very concrete actionable technique. What do you mean by that, the socratic method?

Something else I’m not recognizing?
