I think the biggest issue not mentioned is to not do it in public. Public arguments can be perceived as a threat to power even if the disagreement is fully benign on both sides, it's hard to argue in the commons. Better to do it in private. More often than not, tow the company/managers line in public. It's really, really hard to manage and having dissent which could appear to be arbitrary (even if it's not) is hard. In other words, 'in the commons' it's populism, 'in private' it can be authentic, so take it to the office.
