Critically analyze the following argument about "[[[SUBJECT]]]".

Argument (stance: [[[STANCE]]]):
"""
[[[ARGUMENT]]]
"""

Audience for the analysis: [[[AUDIENCE]]].
Report at most [[[MAX_POINTS]]] strengths and [[[MAX_POINTS]]] weaknesses.

Evaluate the argument against these weighted criteria:
{{{for CRITERION in CRITERIA}}}
- [[[CRITERION.NAME]]] (weight: [[[CRITERION.WEIGHT]]])
{{{end for}}}

For each criterion:
1. State the score you would give (0-10) and justify it in one or two sentences.
2. Quote the specific part of the argument that drove your score.

{{{if CHECK_LOGICAL_FALLACIES}}}
Then list any logical fallacies you detected. For each fallacy:
- Name the fallacy.
- Quote the offending sentence.
- Explain in one sentence why it fits.
If no fallacies are present, say so explicitly.
{{{end if}}}

Finally, produce:
{{{if AUDIENCE = "debate"}}}
- A short "counter-case" the opposing side could mount against this argument.
{{{end if}}}
{{{if AUDIENCE = "academic"}}}
- A referenced-style note on what additional evidence would strengthen the argument.
{{{end if}}}
{{{if AUDIENCE = "general"}}}
- A plain-language verdict: is the argument convincing, partially convincing, or unconvincing, and why.
{{{end if}}}

Conclude with a single overall score out of 10 for the argument as written.
