      You also can’t use logic, facts, or reason to get someone to change their mind if you believe they are incapable of changing their mind.

      If you categorize “asking questions” as a form of bad faith engagement, then you are now incapable of even trying to change someone’s mind.

      Long story short, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
