爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
On one occasion Bok sent him a manuscript which he was sure was, in its views, at variance with the colonel's beliefs. The colonel, he knew, felt strongly on the subject, and Bok wondered what would be his criticism. The report came back promptly. He reviewed the article carefully and ended: "Of course, this is all at variance with my own views. I believe thoroughly and completely that this writer is all wrong. And yet, from his side of the case, I am free to say that he makes out the best case I have read anywhere. I think a magazine should present both sides of all questions; and if you want to present this side, I should strongly recommend that you do so with this article."

白话
博克寄给罗斯福一篇观点与他相左的稿子，想看他怎么批评。罗斯福很快读完，详细分析后说：这完全违背我的信念，我认为作者全错；但从他的立场看，他论证得比我读过的任何文章都好。杂志应该呈现问题的两面，如果你想登这一面，我强烈建议就用这篇。这体现了真正的专业：即使强烈反对，也能承认对方论证有力，并支持呈现对立观点。今天做决策或编辑内容时，不妨问自己：我能否把对手最好的论证说出来，并给它展示的机会？
