Contradiction means against, disagreeing with what is said. Contradiction means if you can’t hear it.
The expression “knee jerk” is a reference to the patellar reflex where a slight blow to the patellar ligament just below the patella (kneecap) causes the leg to move. What is the brain doing in a way, that is to say, it is making a decision in the spinal cord just a third of the way up your back? What does a person mean if he does something instantaneously without thinking the issue through?
When you are advised to avoid “knee-jerk contradiction”, it means to resist giving into the impulse, during a heated argument, to simply disagree without thinking about whatever your disputant just said.

We talk about the meat of the issue.
Red meat, demagoguery, intended to rile up your own audience: “I
didn’t build that.” Red meat, “I didn’t build that.”
Red meat that isn’t intended to be recognized by your opponents is a dog whistle. Your adversaries will accuse you of using codewords, when actually, of course, what you’re saying is the truth and you are speaking truth to power.
