I think I'd be more inclined to frame this sort of thing as typical mind fallacy. Modeling it in terms of an I Win button seems to violate Hanlon's Razor: we don't need an adversarial model when plain old ignorance will suffice, and I don't think preferred interaction style is a matter of conscious choice for most people.
I'd split the difference-- I believe the typical mind fallacy can shade into believing that other sorts of minds aren't worth respecting.
Alternatively, the situation can be described in terms of tell vs. guess culture.
