Persuading the Opposition
Well, at the risk of offending one of the people who matters most to me in this world (you), yes, you are correct, but the virtue of public discourse is the audience that is open to learning. Debates are never for the purpose of persuading your opponent but for persuading the members of the jury who are seeking the truth.

Degrees of indirection frustrating for conservatives:
1) the incremental education
2) of the audience and the willing
3) at an indirect cost to the opposition.

Think of it as the conservative ( truthful ) mirror image of the progressive ( deceitful ) method of incremental seduction by false promise of freedom from nature’s laws.

Men(the right) are efficient when it is not actually effective – in influence (vs decision).
Women (the left) is inefficient when it’s effective (influence) vs decision.
We would all hang progressives if they stated what they wanted despite how we got there.. We would (mostly) rebel against conservatives not about their wants (end point) but about getting there.
