People are stubborn. There's almost no way around it. I don't know how people convince people of things. My best guess is that they only convince people who weren't already grounded in their beliefs and build up from there.

Now, am I stubborn? Is Ferret? Are you, WHW? Yes. But I like to think that I can listen to reason and believe things based on logical arguments. If you can show me otherwise, then... responding to such an inquiry (if it is well-founded) is a paradox, isn't it? If I acknowledge that I am too stubborn to listen to good arguments, then I am listening to good arguments, and as such am not stubborn. (Maybe? It's weird.)

I suppose if you show me an instance of me ignoring a strong argument, then I'll make sure to revisit it.
