Contradiction search
Deliberately hunt for the case against a claim: limitations, criticism,
failures, and counter-evidence.
When to use
- A claim, tool, or approach looks too good to trust flatly.
- A balanced write-up requires the "what breaks / what people dispute" side.
- Pressure-testing evidence before a verdict in
claim-verification /
fact-checking.
Tools used
find_contradictions — from a claim, optional angles (which kinds of
criticism to hunt), limit_per_query (default 6).
Workflow
- State the claim; list the angles worth attacking (performance, security,
cost, support, validity…).
find_contradictions with those angles.
- Weigh hits: real reproducible failures vs. noise/confusion.
- Fold the strongest counter-evidence into the final assessment.
Input schema
{ "claim": "str", "angles": "list[str]", "limit_per_query": "int" }
Output schema
{ "claim": "str", "contradictions": "list[{angle,source,url,quote}]" }
Security
Criticism is evidence to weigh with the same discipline as support. Do not
manufacture doubt — only surface what sources genuinely say.
