>>1224117>I don't see why I should give Frye the benefit of the doubt.Because your audience can see the difference between you seeking out and demolishing the strongest possible interpretation of their argument versus you seeking the flimsiest possible one then commenting on its spelling errors.
Always try to understand the strongest and most-charitable interpretation of your opponent's point: anything else is playing on easy mode. Even if you're not deliberately creating ridiculous interpretations that a child could poke a hole in, people will assume what you're doing is deliberate, and they'll assume it's because you have no answer to the interpretations.
