Three levels to a rebuttal

What are the three levels to a rebuttal?  The first level is cannot.  The second level is should not.  The third level is even if.   What does this mean?  The first level is the practical level, you cannot do this because it's not feasible, it's not cost effective, or it's not possible due to money.  The second level is the principle level, you should not do this because it's not a good thing, not a moral thing, or it's goes against the society/culture.  The final level the even if--these are the disadvantages that occur because of the model or principle.  Whenever you are opposition, you have an advantage because there normally are reasons why something has not been done.  Keep the structure and run the three level of argumentation in the rebuttal.
