When making an argument what is more important to actually winning?

Emotions

4

Facts

29

logic

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]

  • If ya ask me, seeking victory in arguments is usually both counterproductive and a great way to make your "opponent" resent you. Chances are your opponent knows something you don't and vice versa. There’s a beauty in that, in a way. Its quite foolish to deny that; denying that will only prevent the both of you from learning. And why in the world wouldn’t you want more knowledge? Sad truth is that a debate or argument like that, where both comes out smarter in the end and do not resent eachother more than when they started, is quite rare. If you want some proof of that, you can take a look at some of my previous, shall we say, experiences.
