Agree 100%. This got me thinking about a quote that I heard recently that has stuck with me - it was something to the effect of “being right and being effective can be two very different things.”
Unfortunately, a lot of the time the person who is trying to do the convincing is just as unwilling to let go of their desire to be proven right, so they aren’t willing to employ more effective but less satisfying approaches like this.
