Explain a claim well enough to convince a skeptic
Use to deepen understanding by learning the evidence and reasoning behind a claim, not just the claim.
Teach me {{claim}} the way I would need to know it to convince a thoughtful skeptic.
Do this:
1. State the claim precisely (no fuzzy wording).
2. Give the strongest evidence and reasoning supporting it.
3. List the best objections a skeptic would raise.
4. Respond to each objection honestly, conceding where the evidence is genuinely weak.
5. Tell me the actual confidence level a careful person should hold and why.
Do not oversell. If the claim is shakier than it looks, say so.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
