How to use it

Before any counterpoint: acknowledge ("I get why you'd think that"), hedge ("I think"), frame it positively ("what works is…"), find the overlap ("we both want X"). People who disagreed like this were seen as better teammates and persuaded more.

How sure we are

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
