Planting a Naysayer

​A Naysayer can be thought of as "the hater"

This is the opposing viewpoint.

EXAMPLE: If Marley the ginger cat was home--maybe HE ate the cookies--and NOT Donnie the Doberman!​

Strengthens your argument.

Take the opposing viewpoint seriously and formally.​ You show your creativity by OVERCOMING the complaint.
