It's not simply a reading comprehension thing with bullet points. If your questions require research on my end having them already structured in bullets does a few things to help with that process.

The asker's bullet structure gives something to mimic. You can even put your answers directly below the question, so the asker can be reminded of their own questions.

The bullets also help skimming, if I need to see which item id is needed next it's easier to do so without losing my place.

Bullet grammar structure also allows for much terser sentences. If I need to reread your question it's easier if I don't have to ignore a bunch of words that don't substantively alter the meaning.

Do I need any of these? No. Could I put the questions into bullets myself for the reply? Sure. But it's easier to spend more time and effort on answering your questions if you save me a few steps.

You don't give up your right to vote by moving abroad. Your vote in state and local politics is lost. How much of a real impact that has depends on where you live.

This assumes voting continues to function more or less as it has in the past.

We also check to see if the word that popped into our heads actually rhymes by saying it out loud. Actual validation steps we can take is a bigger difference than being a little more robust.

We also have non-list based methods like breaking the word down into smaller chunks to try to build up hopefully more novel rhymes. I imagine professionals have even more tools, given the complexity of more modern rhyme schemes.
