Steelman Then Doubt
Gives the strongest honest version of the article's argument, then the strongest honest case against it, and names the two or three facts that would decide between them. Says plainly when the evidence is lopsided rather than pretending balance.

- What is the strongest honest case against it?
- Where do the two sides actually disagree: on facts, on values or on predictions?
