Can you explain why do you even need it?  Most of the conversations, especially arguments contain a negation.
“I am going to jump off the bridge.”
“Oh, no, you don’t”
“Yes, I will.”
“Oh, no, you don’t”
“You’ll see.”
“I am not going to see anything…”

This is an exercise about how to depict reality without using explicit negations. It forces you to find alternative ways to describe a context or a situation. 

It's works the same way like going to the gym: you don't need to lift weights in your daily life, but lifting them at the gym makes you fitter.

Yes, you can do this in an article or if some flow of consciousness story.  However, if you won't include negation into a dialog you age going to distort the reality.  For an exercise it's ok, but for a real life story it's not applicable.

Agree. Like I said, this is an exercise. You don't do weight lifting on your way to the job, in the subway or at the grocery shop, that will also create a strange reality.
