An opponent concedes that its catastrophic impact is only 10% likely but argues that magnitude alone decides the round. Your impact is smaller but nearly certain. Which rebuttal is strongest?
A
Treat the opponent's impact as zero because 10% is not certain.
B
Compare residual expected risk and the decision threshold: a near-certain smaller harm may outweigh a speculative larger one unless the judge adopts a defended catastrophe-priority rule.
C
Ignore magnitude and discuss only the number of cards read.
D
Concede the round because catastrophic language always outweighs probability.
