I think that might be the crux of the issue. Convincing people and making a logical argument aren&#x27;t the same thing and are only tangentially related.<p>The former requires a level of emotional intelligence and coercion <i>in addition</i> to any logical arguments. Why? Because people are people and they will only resent you if you just mechanically present arguments even if you&#x27;re 100% right. They will look for any reason to say you&#x27;re wrong even if it doesn&#x27;t make sense. That&#x27;s why sometimes, it&#x27;s just not worth participating in some arguments. Context matters.
