<A critical thing to notice here is that which of these responses or strategies the proponent of P ought to opt for depends on three factors:

1.How likely Q is to be true

2.How relevant Q is to P

3.How strong an objection Q is to P.

The more that 1-3 hold, the greater the argumentative pressure on P and the more conciliatory, etc. proponents of P should be in response to Q. The less that 1-3 hold, the lesser the argumentative pressure on P and the more dismissive, etc. P’s proponents should be in response to Q.>
