And that's why, to really win an argument, you need to understand your opponent's. You never win an argument by telling your opponent they are wrong. You need to ask them questions, that throw their beliefs into question - "if you believe A, then surely B must be true too, no?" "no? Well if A is true, how come B isn't?".
If you've done it right, you now leave them questioning their own beliefs. At which point, you can explain your own. Just expect them to poke holes in your beliefs, just like you've done to them :-)

That's a good methodology if the goal is to win arguments.
What was interesting to me was the idea that rhetoric (not big "R"😂) could be genuinely helpful, and not simply a program for making an opponent submit.
