Let no man put a manacle on your hand, or foot, or head, or heart. — Thomas De Witt Talmage

to compose a successful critical commentary: 1. You should attempt to re-express your target's position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, "Thanks, I wish I'd thought of putting it that way." 2.

Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism. — Daniel C. Dennett
