Political counter culture icon Andrew Breitbart mastered the use of a simple term:

Whenever challenged about the downside of his approach – AB had an inherent knack for removing toxic attacks by owning ‘the downside’, yet never accepting the framing. Then he’d artfully expose the framing’s banality through simple counter questions, ‘truisms’.
