Its not my homework its yours. You made an accusation about a weakness in my argument. Its not my job to back up your allegation, or to imagine the specifics of it and try to refute these imagined specifics. Doing the first wouldn't make a lot of sense. Doing the latter would likely result in either me finding no weakness (and you would hardly take my word for it), or in finding some other potential weakness other than the one you are trying to hint at. If the idea for a weakness is itself weak and I demolish is, than you attack me for demolishing a straw man. If its strong, and I so a real new weakness in my argument, than I make your case for you, which would hardly be doing "my homework".
