IMO,  rather than insist that you describe each alerted call in the 
auction, the law should recommend that you answer the question "From 
your partner's calls what can you tell about his hand?"

Apart from the main meaning of each individual call, there are subtle 
inferences that gradually accumulate into significance during successive 
calls; and probabilities that reinforce each other to become near 
certainties.

IMO, most players feel justified in refraining from divulging such 
holistic understandings.

Apart from improving disclosure, it would save time.
