If you want to win over someone from an opinion... the last thing you do is tell them that their wrong.

- intopieces 11y agoIf a person cannot be persuaded that they are wrong, is there any chance of 'winning them over'? Seems like you're wasting your breath at that point. We can only hope that the logic and evidence you, the persuader, present is sound enough to drown out the nonsense being perpetuated by the person you're attempting to convince. Given what we know about reinforcement of incorrect information, though... perhaps a losing prospect.
- qbrass 11y agoIf you flat out tell someone they're wrong, you've lost the chance to change their opinion. They'll get defensive because you appeared to give no consideration to their opinion, and they'll disregard anything you say in return.
