You're interpretation is correct. Saying disengage to end an argument has never been enforced.
The only time something similar is enforced is when a user follows the person they are replying to into different comments and threads.
The person asking to disengage has to disengage as well. Ideally the format is just saying "disengage" and the other person leaves it at that
I actually kind of agree with you on this one, but some people don't have the self control to do this when they're in the midst of a heated argument
It also covers cases where one person does that but the other person keeps replying to them elsewhere in the thread or in another thread, keeping the argument going
And also we didn't have a block function then, if you really need someone to get off your ass then there had to be some way to handle it and this is what was decided on
I didn't really like the rule when it was proposed and I don't think that it ever really worked as well as it was intended to, but eh, its fine
