Emotions, Facts, or logic.
Which one is the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd important?
[spoiler]Personally I think Emotions are the most important to actually winning the argument (not actually being right) because humans are naturally emotional. Next would be the actual logic if your argument isn't poking at peoples emotions if it makes sense chances are you'll get someone on your side. Lastly I think the facts are actually the least important because you have to verify that they are true or not if you say it's a fact. Facts also don't appeal to peoples emotions as much, and if they do it often times can piss a person off.[/spoiler]

Rather, the best tactics are to 1.) understand the other person’s point of view, and 2.) being willing to change the confidence level to which you hold said belief. Because ultimately we should all know we are wrong about some things, and we should value and strive to know what’s true. If both conversation partners generally accept this premise, then I think actual progress can be made.
