Being the only one who disagrees doesn’t make you right. It does make you worth hearing out.

Standing alone proves nothing by itself, and plenty of lone objectors are simply mistaken. What a dissent does provide is a test, because a group that cannot answer one objection has not really examined its position. Your value in that moment is not being right; it is forcing the check. Either way, you and the group learn something.

Say the objection once, clearly, and then let it sit rather than repeating it louder. Ask what would have to be true for you to be wrong, and mean the question when you ask it.
