The Authority Analyser

I have pasted an authority below. Help me understand and use it.

[PASTE THE CASE, STATUTE, OR REGULATION TEXT]

My matter's facts: [DESCRIBE]

Produce:
1. The holding, stated precisely — and separately, the dicta
2. The material facts the decision turned on
3. The reasoning, step by step
4. How my facts compare, point by point: what is analogous, what is
   distinguishable
5. The strongest argument for applying this to my matter
6. The strongest argument against
7. What limits this authority's reach
8. What questions this leaves open

Work ONLY from the pasted text. Do not describe the case's
subsequent history, do not tell me whether it remains good law, and
do not reference any other authority. Those are things I verify in
a database.
