Unfortunately I think this either this isn't actually the case for many people, or too often they just never even stop to consider that other perspectives might be possible, better or even more common than their own.
In chatting with technical people online for the last 30 years, the biggest issue I have always had is their attitude. IRC seems the worst for it but every platform has this problem in my experience.
God complexes visible from space run rampant, people always speaking in absolutes and seeing things as black and white, complete lack of empathy and humility etc.
I think most arguments in the world, and even other things like crime, might actually just stem from people's inability to communicate with each other effectively.
