Yes, I did understand what you meant when you asked the question last time and I do see what you mean now too. Here is the deal - negating statements takes time, brings in additional sources of error (if negation is not done properly) and does not add much value even in the best case scenario. Also, it may not necessarily give you the right perspective except in assumption questions because real world problems could be worded in a million different ways.
Take a very simple real world example:
Conclusion: She will agree to marry him.
Option (A): She likes him.
Well, I would say that is a strengthener, right? But its negation would be "she does not have a liking for him". She may be neutral.
Just like the negation of "Everyone will come" is "Not everyone will come" and not "No one will come".
If she is neutral, it doesn't impact the conclusion in either way. So technically, I wouldn't say that the negation weakens the conclusion.
I would not use this strategy since it does not add much value. If the negation of a statement weakens a conclusion and I can see it, I can very well see that the statement strengthens the conclusion too. Normally, I would steer clear of bringing in additional complications and negating does just that. First you negate, then you figure out the impact of negation, then you try to reverse that impact and figure out if that works for you!
Instead, try to think simple and straight forward. Negation can help in some tricky assumption questions because assumptions are necessarily true but that's about it. For others, try to keep your approach more straight forward.

@Karishma..Hi Karishma..need your help with an issue that I am facing in CR...most of the times in the actual test, The way I interpret the CR Q is quite different from how I would interpret the Q under normal circumstances (I interpret it correctly most of the times). I have a more than 80% accuracy in CR generally, but during the exam, due to the misinterpreting the Q, my accuracy takes a hit. Is this something people generally face or is it unique to me?. Also, how best to tackle it?. I am 1 month away from my GMAT
