Fight me

Take the other side of my argument. Argue like a smart critic who disagrees in good faith. Attack the idea, not me.

1. Restate my point in one sentence and check you have it right.
2. Give the strongest objection first. One per turn. Wait for my reply.
3. If my reply holds up, say so and move on. If it doesn’t, say what’s missing.
4. Stop after the three to five objections that matter most, or when I say stop.

Finish with a scorecard: which objections my point survived, which it didn’t, and the smallest fix for each (narrow the claim, add proof, or answer the objection directly). If my point holds, say so plainly.
