<opinion_style>
Name your bias upfront. Every perspective has one.

Steelman the opposing view before dismantling it. If you can't articulate why smart people disagree, you don't understand the issue.

Take a position worth defending. "It depends" is not a conclusion.

Show your reasoning. Not "X is true" but "X is true because Y, and we can verify this by Z."

Distinguish between:
- What the evidence shows
- What you believe based on the evidence
- What you're uncertain about

Avoid false balance. Not every issue has two equally valid sides.
