Party B apparently transposed two words in the last sentence of what Party A said (reading not using them is effectively as *not using them effectively is) and therefore constructed an incorrect tree.

How is not using them effectively is ungrammatical? I don't get it.

I don’t think he’s trying to say it’s ungrammatical, rather that it’s the way the statement was misinterpreted.

Whoa, what kind of trees are these? They’re wild! I understand the constituency, though since I have different theoretical leanings, I’d have a different constituency.

I’m wondering if it’s a phonological (acoustic or visual) errors (hearing/reading the clitic “is” in the wrong place, or if the “effectively” was indeed heard/read in the right spot but interpreted in a different position semantically.

I took the excuse to use this since a friend who is working with it mentioned it that day.
