Jan Koekepan@maron Best response to contested premises: anticipate them by explaining what and why. Then if someone whines that they don't like the premises, respond with: "Refer to introduction in which we analyse the choice of premises. If you don't like those, write your own paper in which you explain your choices." Alternatively: "Selection of alternative premises was outside the scope of this paper. Further publications to follow."
