A discussion invites everyone to speak, but some participants risk much more by disagreeing. What is missing from the invitation?
Look beyond the formal speaking rule.

How could you test whether your discussion design supports learning?
Use a specific observable process and keep disagreement possible.
State how participants can question a claim, how speaking and listening are shared, and what output shows a changed understanding. Collect feedback about whose contribution was missed.
