I lean toward {{my position}}. Do not agree with me yet. Construct the strongest version of {{opposing view}}: (1) restate it more persuasively than its own advocates do; (2) give its three hardest pieces of evidence or logic; (3) state the conditions under which my position fails; (4) judge whether the disagreement is about facts or values; (5) finally, tell me which part of my position needs revising after hearing it.
