Most advice on how to argue better assumes both people want to find out what is true, and in most real arguments at least one person is defending a position they have already told other people they hold.

It depends whether anyone is watching. Two people alone can usually get somewhere. Add an audience and both of them start defending a position instead of holding one.

People do change their minds publicly, just slowly and later, and never in the thread. The argument plants something that grows somewhere you cannot see.

something you reckon. a gripe, a hunch, a hill you will die on. serious or not.
