Summarise the Key Arguments in a Debate
Some argument is doing the rounds and you want both sides put plainly before you pick one. This states the core question neutrally, then gives the three strongest points each side actually makes, on their own terms. Handy when you're sick of takes and just want the shape of the disagreement laid out straight.
