Have you really succeeded at type 1 situations this way? I’ve found that making my own counterarguments works better than arguing one-sidedly; the trust I build by raising my own objections helps them really listen when I counter them.
I have managed to get people to switch to marginally less ridiculous views, yes. It’s limited success, but still impressive considering how hard it is to get people to change their minds at all.
Your approach may work better, though. It certainly sounds plausible. I’ll have to try that next time I’m in a type 1 argument.
