A choice becomes more honest when you describe its disadvantages without softening them.

Advocacy has a natural drift. You state the benefits fully and the costs briefly, using the vaguest available words, and the account stays technically true while leaving everyone underprepared. When the drawbacks arrive later at full size, they cost you more than the honest version ever would have.

Before you recommend something, write the downside in the same detail as the upside and say it in the same breath. People trust a case that has told them where it hurts, and they can plan around a cost they were warned about.
