When evaluating something, we may find that we want to discredit certain information or opinions that we don't consider important or relevant. One way to express this idea is to say that we "give little weight to" such things. However, there are many other ways to convey this concept, such as "disregard," "minimize," "discount," "downplay," "ignore," "brush off," "belittle," "diminish," "underestimate," "deemphasize," and "neglect." Each of these terms conveys a slightly different shade of meaning, but they all suggest that we are not taking something seriously or attaching much importance to it. By using these synonyms, we can vary our language and express our ideas with greater precision.
