What he found out was, in short, that Pepsi feels better to me than Coke. That was something that was already implied by my preference. So, in terms of knowledge, he didn't really gain much. And in terms of understanding, since he disagrees, he doesn't really understand how it tastes better to me, how its sweeter to me, he just knows it feels better to me, but, as stated, that was already implied by my preference. So, its kind of circular or redundant, which was my point.AjayLikesGaming wrote:
You seem to think this is about swaying people or agreeing and disagreeing. It's not.
It helps because now he understands why you feel that way about Pepsi. That is all there is to it.
This asinine conversation has stemmed from someone wanting to understand a viewpoint. That. is. it.
I cannot even put into words at how baffled I am that this isn't abundantly clear from the numerous posts that have been made on this subject already.
I am doing my very best to remain calm with you, but at this point, I am seriously struggling to work out how to make this any clearer.
As for the conversation, well, I just didn't see any point in just questioning his (unpopular) opinion, nor did I see what was expected from his answer, other than a reaffirmation that he prefers certain aspects of Linda to the other voices that Freeza had, which is something already implied in his original answer. And I explained why. You are free to disagree. Maybe my intervention was a waste a time and wasn't really needed, but I felt it was relevant to question what was really expected from his answer and why his opinion was the one being put into question. Anyway, at least I didn't call you/imply you were "asinine", just so you know...
