Use when writing the UIST rebuttal — budgeting the 5,000-character self-contained response, prioritizing factual corrections and novelty defenses over taste disputes, promising only camera-ready changes you can deliver, and writing for the PC discussion that follows rather than for the reviewers alone.

The UIST rebuttal is small, plain-text, and consequential: 5,000 characters,
self-contained, written in about a week (May 28 - June 5 in the verified 2026
cycle), and explicitly listed among the inputs to the accept/reject recommendation.
