    Answering the last part of your previous comment:

    They will only firm up their own opinion if you start arguing.

    As soon as you say “you’re wrong because ABC and D argument”, *that’s when they dig into their opinion and make up reasoning to protect their view.

    Questioning doesn’t do that. It’s a fine way to allow people to reason themselves out of the hole the dug into.
