Isn't that the whole purpose of a debate, though; to put forward your viewpoint and try to convince others of the rightness of your position? I know that I've had my views modified by listening to others over the years - eg, I don't see the issue of piracy in such "black and white" terms as I used to when I first joined MR - and perhaps I may have brought a few people around to my point of view too. You win some, you lose some, as the saying goes.
