I’ve seen that I shouldn’t argue with people, but for people I’ve found them more persuasive than if I told them they’re wrong, as a form of argument. This post argues that in a rationalist society, anyone who gives evidence against something would be epistemically rude, regardless of whether they “perceive evidence from other people”. So it is really hard to argue with the people you would be arguing with if you don’t believe them, and your best estimate is that it’s a good idea.
