I guess there's a distinction to be made between people who appear firmly committed to ill-supported beliefs and those who plausibly may just be basing their beliefs on inaccurate information.
It's true that I generally don't engage with people who believe in a flat earth or who claim to be absolutely certain that the government is colluding with extraterrestrials, simply because I doubt any good would come of such an interaction.
