The Naysayer

What is a naysayer. Example of someone who disagrees argument. Need to present all possible views. Makes you sound more legitimate that you care enough to back yourself up. 

Anticipate Objections - discuss what objectors might say. You will probably object that I have misrepresented X work here, and I concede....."

Represent Objections Fairly - Support of other side has less credibility. You need to explain why objections are present. And who is actually objecting.

Answer Objections - Relate it back to your topic, disprove it if you can, discuss it as a valid theory to help explain.
