The rebuttal submission text box only allows for 5000 *characters*, which is hardly sufficient to rebut 4 reviews.

How do people make a strong rebuttal in only 5000 characters?

I have to answer 12 questions. This leaves ~50-100 words per answer. Do people ignore some questions and focus on more important questions?

Am I missing something?

Is there a rebuttal guideline at all?

Is the rebuttal really limited to 5000 characters? This is hardly enough to respond to a single reviewer, let alone 4. This is such a disappointment compared to NeurIPS, where the rebuttal/author discussion format was significantly more pleasurable to deal with.

Is there a guide and/or latex template for the rebuttal? Or do we simply submit raw text in the "post author feedback" text box?

I did not receive any email correspondence from AAAI (my co-author made the original submission but is unavailable for the review period).
