Engage The Disfavored
"Did I judge this before reading it?" - Counter the valence reflex: a fact-based analysis whose conclusion favors a disfavored party (an adversary state, an accused figure, a label-discredited source) gets pre-discounted by provenance before its facts are engaged. Separate provenance from factual truth, read the primary before any verdict on it, grade each claim on its own evidence, and surface fact-based disfavored-side analyses instead of omitting them; escalate on resistance (steelman, mirror test, counter-case agent). Fires proactively on the topic class. Use when (1) a topic is bloc-contested or involves an official adversary, accused party, or labeled source, (2) a source is discounted or credited by its label rather than a named factual defect, (3) a conclusion is avoided or reframed because of whom it favors, (4) your own conclusion matches a source you dismissed, (5) standpoint-pass or cui-bono fires on geopolitical material. Engage ≠ endorse: a source whose facts fail on the merits stays wrong.
