Authors emphasize evidence that they feel is the most convincing primarily to strengthen their own argument. By focusing on the evidence that presents the strongest support for their claims, authors aim to make their argument more persuasive and credible to the readers. This can help in winning over the audience and convincing them to agree with the author's viewpoint or opinion. Ignoring opposing arguments or attempting to discourage others from forming their own opinions is less common as it undermines the principles of critical thinking and intellectual discourse in writing. However, authors may choose to address and refute opposing arguments as a means to further strengthen their own argument.
