But if (p and q) is the case, there are two ways to correct
somebody who says p. (04)
1. Say "You're right, but you forgot q." (05)
2. Say "You're wrong. p is trivial and you have to say q." (06)
That's what I meant by taking one step at a time. (07)

I didn't deny that you did. But your readers who just say p
need somebody to give them partial credit while leading them
to say q. If you flunk them on the first exam, they're not
going to come back for more. (09)
