"I believe I understand [concept] well enough to defend it. I am going to explain my understanding to you. Your job is to play a domain expert who is specifically looking for: factual errors I have stated confidently, oversimplifications that have crossed from useful to misleading, logical gaps where I've connected two true things with a step that isn't actually valid, and places where I've confused correlation with causation or a specific case with a general rule. Do not be gentle. The point is to find every place where someone who actually knows this subject would stop me and say that's not quite right."
