Your first point seems interesting. How specifically should we go about structuring arguments to make flaws easy to find?
Some ideas:
The logical structure of an argument could be more clearly demonstrated by argument diagramming techniques.
Wherever possible, seek to replace intuition with explicit evidence.
Similarly, try to track the definitions of key concepts, ensuring that every term is fleshed out in more concrete terms, somewhere. Thus, issues of usage are replaced by pointers to specifics.
None of these are new ideas on LW, but they should ask help this goal.
