Sugar and spice! Ginger and molasses! As my daughter and I toiled last month creating a battalion of gingerbread men, I found myself musing about, what else?, appeals. Well, more properly, the proper ingredients for an effective oral argument. You were expecting something more festive? Bah humbug-I’ll leave that to Martha Stewart.
You see, I was trying to explain to my little girl the need for recipes and measuring cups. Sure, you could wing it (like my husband does), but you might not end up with what you set out to make. Leave out the sugar and your cookies will be bland, leave out the ginger and, well, I guess you wouldn’t have gingerbread, now would you? An oral argument can be explained in the same terms: there are some ingredients that you just have to have.
