What you'll fill in
resolution
Affirmative / Pro · Negative / Con
The prompt
This is what lands in your composer — edit the [blanks] and send.
I'm debating an affirmative on the resolution: "[resolution]". Predict the four strongest arguments the other side will run. For each: state their argument fairly, identify the weakest link in its warrant or evidence, and give me a tight 30-second response with a card or example. Then give me the one argument I should be most worried about and how to pre-empt it in my own case.
