Steelman the side you’re going to argue against.

Take the tribunal motion (or any view you disagree with). Build its STRONGEST form — the opposition research you’d do before attacking (200–300 words):

1. Re-state the opposing view so well its holder would say "yes, that’s exactly it." No scarecrows, no sneering.
2. Best evidence — the two strongest facts or arguments on THEIR side (that you supply).
3. Genuine agreement — one thing in their view you actually concede is right.
4. Only now — your rebuttal, aimed at this strong version, in one paragraph.

You pass when a person who HOLDS the opposing view would read your steelman and nod — and when your rebuttal attacks that strong version, not a weaker one you slipped in.
