steelman
Steelman is a term often used in debate or discourse, referring to the technique of presenting the opposing argument or position in its strongest, most credible form before refuting it. This method is considered to be the opposite of strawmanning, where an opponent's viewpoint is misrepresented to make it easier to attack or refute. Presenting a steelman argument often requires a complete understanding of the opposing viewpoint, and is often employed to demonstrate intellectual honesty and fairness.
