Notes on Tactics
We need to pick a side and be tactical in our response to this question. We
might not be able to explain the disadvantage we came up with properly in
such a short essay since the issue is very complex. Therefore, we are going
to say that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and we are going to
treat this disadvantage superficially to save space and time. It’s too
complex to explain fully in a short paragraph.
