Being right isn’t enough. You have to be right in a way people can actually hear.

Correct and persuasive are separate problems, and solving only the first leaves you frustrated while nothing changes. Delivery is not decoration, since how something gets said determines whether anyone can take it in without defending themselves. If people cannot hear it, the accuracy is doing no work at all. That is annoying and also just how it is.

Before you make the point you know is right, think for ten seconds about how it will land. Lead with what you agree on, then say the thing without a jab attached. Being gentle about it is not a compromise, it is what makes it useful.
