Which part of the F.A.I.R test is the most important?
The F.A.I.R. test stands for facts, access, impact, and respect. Clearly, they are all important for crafting a message. "Facts" are important because it gives the writer credibility and backs up her assertions. "Access" goes along with "Facts" in establishing credibility. Without being clear of your motives and biases, the reader is going question your narrative. And "Impact" is important to keep in mind because even an unbiased, logical message can be derailed if the message negatively impacts stakeholders.
The most important of the F.A.I.R. test, however in my opinion, is "Respect". No one is going to pay attention to a message if the author is disrespectful. No finer example of this is that of any comment section of the Internet. It does absolutely does no one any good to insult your audience as you "debate" them.
