15. Respond to Counter-Arguments Yes, criminals who threaten the community should be punished, but not all who break the letter of the law are violent or dangerous. People who steal cable TV are breaking laws, but it causes far more harm to society to pillage retirement accounts or foreclose on homes. You can overcome fair representations of your opponents’ views by giving a well-developed “yes, but...” response. However, if “their” opposing argument is more persuasive than yours, you should revise your argument and your thinking. Grasping onto beliefs that don’t stand up to the light of reality aren’t worth holding on to.
