  I am not convinced that there actually are a lot of such people you described. I think the people you meet who are hard to argue with are that way since they just listen to authority and repeats what their authority source told them. A naïve take would be that the person is arrogant and doesn't listen since he trusts himself too much, but in this case the problem is that the person is too humble and listened too much to his leader instead of thinking for himself in this argument.

    > A naïve take would be that the person is arrogant and doesn't listen since he trusts himself too much, but in this case the problem is that the person is too humble and listened too much to his leader instead of thinking for himself in this argument. A naive take would be to give all authority sources the same amount of weight. No one is capable of knowing everything and making proper judgments. Everyday people have to rely on others’ judgments. You can look for signs that something is off, but for the most part, you will have to trust others. In a well functioning society, most of the time, this will work out in your favor.
