Strongest objection to this
Before you commit to a conclusion you already like.
What is the strongest objection to this? Give me the version a smart critic would actually make, not a strawman.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Pressure-testing a conclusion. Counter-evidence, gaps, and the strongest objection, found before someone else finds it for you.
