A writer should include counterclaims in the body of the essay and refute them point by point **when the counterclaims are well accepted by the reader**. Addressing well-accepted counterclaims demonstrates to the reader that the writer is aware of differing perspectives and provides an opportunity to strengthen their own argument by effectively refuting those counterclaims.
