since I already have some guesses, I write those down as well in order to signal that I’m taking the other person seriously.
I am not sure how others perceive such guesses in general, but in my experience I find them very helpful for avoiding the Double Illusion of Transparency, as they can reveal assumptions that either the reader or writer was making and that the other didn’t know about.
