Question

At what point should a speaker acknowledge the counterclaim?

Answer 1

Acknowledging counterclaim is very important. First of all it makes the conversation healthier and most probably through it always a good conclusion comes out of it. As far as when to acknowledge that counterclaim is concerned, then one should acknowledge it after giving your point of view and explaining your thoughts nicely to others. Through this the counterclaims coming from the other sides would not be absurd or ambiguous.
