An issue with long-form and asynchronous discourse is wasted motion. Without shared assumptions, the logic and info that locutor 1 adduces is less relevant to locutor 2 than to locutor 1. And, that effect becomes more pronounced as locutor 1 goes down a path of reasoning, constructing more context that locutor 2 doesn’t share. (OTOH, long-form is better in terms of individual thinking.)
There’s a micro version of this in conversations which have high enough trust that collaborative interrupt culture lets you go even further down the side of not having unnecessary context added. Does depend on having good enough modelling that you’re not cutting off things which there’s not trust in your ability to know it’s not useful, else it can be very frustrating for the interuptee.
