Strategy #1
Pass the buck – Tell them that since they can’t prove you wrong, then you must be right!
Strategy #2
Make it true – Argue that since you are obviously right, and everyone knows it, there is no point in arguing further.
Strategy #3
You have two choices – Tell them they must believe your view or something else totally outlandish. Do not allow for a third option.
Strategy #4
It must be so – Argue that for you to be wrong, you would have to change your whole worldview, so you must be right out of necessity.
Strategy #5
Appear reasonable – Argue that your position occupies the middle ground, so the other person is an extremist.
Strategy #6
Distract them – Argue some side issue that’s much easier to win. It’s much better than losing the big one.
Strategy #7
Barrage them – Make so many points that they can’t hope to respond to them all.
Strategy #8
Go for the throat – Prove that the other person is untrustworthy and cannot be believed. Variation: Do the same for their mother.
Strategy #9
Cherry pick – Find one time when your argument proved true. Base everything on that.
Strategy #10
Emotion – Make the conclusion of the other person’s position appear so unpleasant that no one would want it to be true.
Congratulations! Now you can be a winner without even knowing what you’re saying!
