About This Quote

Maybe I’m strange and perverse, but I’ve always thought there was something sexy about a compelling argument. If two people argue, the stronger one will win over the other. This is because they make better use of their words. If you decide to be wrong, you will lose the argument without saying anything.

Your opponent will be able to say that you are wrong because of your inability to defend it. The way to win an argument is by convincing your opponent that he is wrong. The more you show that you are right, the more your opponent will give it up.
