Even if it were true that instant/counter were the most efficient way to communicate, being unable to listen to the interrupt averse would still make you a poor listener.

I don't mean to offend you if you are interrupt averse, it's just the case that AFAICT cooperative interrupting is an important efficiency gain. I believe that because of the argument I made above, but you're leaning more into ad hominem rather than addressing it.
