What do you use persuasion for, good or bad?
The better solution is to act humble. Enter the discussion saying “hey, I might be wrong but…” And you will drop the guard of the person that you are trying to influence.
Even if you know you are 100% correct, nobody likes being wrong and having it rubbed in their face. If the conversation is started with…
“I might be wrong”, the people you’re attempting to influence will be far more open to admitting being wrong as well.
