Полемика и публичная аргументация

точный тезис: proposition → claim (narrow) → in the sense of (ключевое слово) → scope → what I am not claiming / the boundary → for the following reasons (по весу) → the burden of proof is on me, I accept it → on this evidence (trial, not rule); defend a modest claim well

сильнейшее возражение до ответа: the best case against me runs as follows → the crux of their case (if I were arguing the other side) → put at its strongest → the objection has force / credit the point / do justice to → проверка: would its holders sign it? (no caricature); pre-empt забирает лучший ход противника

опровержение в точке: the premise is true, the conclusion does not follow (the inference fails at the step from X to Y); this proves too much (by the same logic); the evidence cuts the other way (rests on one school); mistakes X for Y (transition cost for permanent); градация even if … still; not only … but; pinpoint; потом — what survives

уступить полностью и отдельной фразой (I concede; I grant; in that respect they are right) → common ground → the real disagreement is narrower: where we actually differ is → that leaves the question of X — and only that → факты решают данные, ценности — agree to differ → for the sake of argument; «concede, but» — фальшивая уступка

фигуры: tricolon, antithesis (not X but Y), anaphora, climax, parallel structure, один rhetorical question; оговорка внутри фигуры (most teenagers, most schools, most mornings; not proof but two trials; a trial, not a rule); проверка: числа верны, кванторы и глаголы силы те же, фигура несёт довод, противник не процитирует против вас

пересмотр вслух: I used to think → what changed my mind was (конкретный довод / данные; on reflection, X stands) → I now hold → not a retreat but a correction (revise, not abandon; the core survives) → what would change it back → for the record; dig in после хорошего возражения — потеря; intellectual honesty
