It’s often hard to address a person’s reasons for disbelieving a thing if you don’t know what they are, so there are ways of asking not from a place of feigned curiosity but from a place of like, “let’s begin, where should we start.”
More saliently I think you’re just not going to get any other kind of engagement from people who disbelieve. You need to invite them to tell the site why it’s wrong. I wonder if the question be phrased as a challenge.
The site <smugly>: I can refute any counterargument :> Text form: insert counterargument [ ]
I like this direction, but I think it’s better to invite a stance of intellectual curiosity and inquiry, not a stance of defending a counterargument. More of “What is my intuition missing?” than “I’m not stupid, my intuition is right, they won’t refute my smart counterarguments, let’s see how their chatbot is wrong”
