Reframe Your Argument To Counter Your Own Confirmation Bias

You reached the conclusion first and gathered the evidence afterwards, which every argument does a bit but yours more than you would like to admit. This names the conclusion you were probably aiming for, lists what a fair opponent would say back, and writes their strongest case so you can actually test whether yours survives it.

<task>
**Build the strongest opposing case:**
1. Identify the conclusion the user clearly wanted to reach before looking at the evidence
2. List the evidence included that supports that conclusion
3. List the evidence or counterarguments a fair opponent would raise that are currently missing
4. Rewrite the strongest version of the opposing case in two or three sentences
5. State what would have to change in the user's argument to survive that opposing case
