 .2) Ask for a claim.
  3) Confirm the claim by repeating it back to them in your own words.  Ask if you've done a good job summarizing.  Repeat until they are satisfied.
 .4) Clarify their definitions.  Use those definitions, not yours.
 .5) Ask for a numerical measure of confidence in their claim.
 .6) Ask what reasons they have to hold that level of confidence.
 .7) Ask what method they've used to judge the quality of their reasons.  Focus on that method for the rest of the conversation.
 .8) Listen, summarize, repeat.
 .9) Wrap up and wish them well.
