Malcolm Gladwell
"The notion that the only way you can critically engage with a person’s ideas is to take a shot at them, is to be openly critical — this is actually nonsense. Some of the most effective ways in which you deal with someone’s idea are to treat them completely at face value, and with an enormous amount of respect. That’s actually a faster way to engage with what they’re getting at than to lob grenades in their direction…If you’re going to hold someone to what they believe, make sure you accurately represent what they believe."

"إن الفكرة القائلة بأن السبيل الوحيد للتفاعل النقدي مع أفكار شخص ما هو توجيه ضربة إليه، أو أن تكون منتقدًا بشكل صريح، هي في الحقيقة محض هراء. فبعض أكثر الطرق فعالية للتعامل مع فكرة شخص ما هي أن تتعامل معها بجدية تامة، وبقدر هائل من الاحترام. هذه في الواقع طريقة أسرع للتفاعل مع ما يرمون إليه من إلقاء القنابل في اتجاههم... إذا كنت ستُحاسب شخصًا على ما يؤمن به، فتأكد من أنك تمثل معتقده بدقة."
