Argument never changes anyone's mind. It always causes a person to retract/ close ranks. No one can do any better than they're doing. Even if someone is horribly provably wrong, they will always justify their decisions if confronted.
Thats not true of rational argument where people are willing to accept facts or even superior arguments.
I have had my mind changed durng debates because the opposing view was more valid than mine.
Sometimes You just cant argue with the facts.
Or can you?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
