Doing this is often surprisingly difficult. There's something about analytical frameworks, where to me, A feels like a flaw in the argument to B, whereas to you, B feels like a flaw in the argument to A.

I think one reason for this is that decisions are made in terms of cost-benefit analysis, which tends to make that distinction fuzzier.
