I think there’s a version on this that is “adversarially try to generate exactly the right text to change people’s minds, regardless of truth value”, which I’d consider dishonest/anti-epistemic. But I think there’s a perfectly reasonable approach here that is “make sure your writing actually engages with the worldview and reasoning of the people you’re trying to engage with”.
