I agree with what you're saying in general, but I'm compelled to point out that, in some specific cases, "i c wat u dd thar" would actually be preferable. For example, such cases include -- just off the top of my head -- humor, parody, satire, and characterization (in a fictional narrative).

True. In those cases, i c wat u dd thar" is fully functional, more so than "I see what you did there."
