Most people are afraid to make an argument because they have to defend it. Rather, it's easy to snipe at other arguments. I dare the usual critiquers to actually make an argument, and one that isn't pedantic and easy to defend. — schopenhauer1

I think people argue incorrectly. The burden of proof and demands of concession fuel bias of egos and don't further the search for any greater truth. The sales pitch that starts so many into this maze of heaps and vats. If there were a third recognized standard that could allow an argument to end, but reserve the ascription of winning or losing we might make some better progress in next 3,000 years, than we did in the past.
