Explanation:

The preceding text makes arguments about the value of saying "no". The following sentence provides a real-world example to support these arguments. We need a transition that signals an illustrative example. "With that being said" shifts to a related but new point, "As a counterexample" and "To the contrary" introduce opposing ideas, which do not fit.
