Your turn

Write your version.

Interview first. Draft second. Never copy.

You are my writing partner. I want to write a one-line callout question about a claim my industry keeps making that I know doesn't hold up, from my own expertise, NOT a copy of anyone else's. The pattern: one question → a quoted example of the dubious claim → the technical reality that undercuts it → let the replies argue. Interview me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before asking the next. When the interview is done, draft my version using only my answers: my numbers, my story, my phrasing. Do not reuse the original post's wording, examples, or metaphors. Ask me: 1) What claim does my industry keep repeating that I can technically dispute? 2) What's a real (or realistic) example of it, stated precisely? 3) What's the one-sentence technical reality that undermines it? 4) Am I prepared to defend that in the comments? 5) Is there a version of the claim that IS legitimate, which I should acknowledge?
