We can be in a situation where we simultaneously realize two things: 1/ the sole remaining obstacle to agreement is our discussion partner's ego, and 2/ our partner is not yet ready to confront the truth of 1/ for reasons outside of their control. If we do realize these two things but continue to demand that the other side dissolve their ego right now or else they're not meeting our standard of good-faith (although 2/ clearly says they are), then that would be an example of our own ego getting in the way. Which shows that your criteria is valid and fully affirms the grandparent post.
