This is a very detailed little chapter, so read it all twice! A recommendation as said on pg 140 should have "something in it for the reader", meaning there should be some benefit that the reader seeks, as well as the writer, to be most effective. The writer should be looking for areas of common ground to find agreement and support. Be aware of the areas of dissonance, though, and deal with them in your argument. It can make the argument stronger because of it.
Never over exaggerate your "problem" or the supporting arguments because the reader may latch on to those inaccuracies and throw out your entire argument, even though there may have been agreement. (143) As said before, on pg 149, put some stars next to the part that begins "When Some Effects Are Undesirable". Don't hide some of the undesirable arguments because you know the reader will come up with a few "what ifs" or "what abouts" while reading your argument. Be ready with counter arguments for those rather than ducking them.
