Okay, but Hear Me Out

What it does

Your questionable proposal would sound much more reasonable if everyone allowed you to finish arranging the evidence.

Use it when

  • A bad-looking idea has one technically defensible advantage.
  • You are asking for patience before revealing the self-serving part.
  • The plan requires confidence before it receives facts.

For example

  1. “Yes, the hotel is three hours away, but it has a miniature railway.”
  2. You propose cake for breakfast on the grounds that lunch will be balanced.
  3. The costume needs twelve yards of velvet, but you found a coupon.
