How are distractions useful against counterarguments and what should the timing be when using a distraction?
What will be an ideal response?
Persuasion efforts are more effective if they can reduce the other party's efforts to develop defensive counterarguments. One way to do this is to have a distraction occur at the same time the message is sent. Distractions apparently absorb the effort that the other party normally would put into building counterarguments and leave the listener vulnerable to the message appeals.
