In this section you get a yes-or-no question and several arguments. Each is strong or weak. Treat every argument as true, then ask two things:
- Is it directly relevant to the question asked?
- Is it important, rather than trivial or a matter of taste?
A strong argument passes both. A weak one fails at least one: it's off the point, trivial ("everyone likes free things"), relies on habit or what others do ("other cities do it"), or just restates the question.
Your own view doesn't matter. Arguments on both sides can be strong at the same time, because a real decision weighs important reasons against each other. The commonest slip is marking an argument weak because you disagree with it. Read each one as if a sensible colleague made it, and judge the reason, not the side.
