My motivation behind this post stems from (Aumann’s agreement theorem)
It shouldn’t, for hu-mans Aumann’s is more like a dark artsy inspirational poster of “YOU can do ANYTHING if you just believe in yourself!” than it is a relevantly applicable theorem (the wiki article is in need of an overhaul).
I think it’s pretty much impossible for people to ‘share all information’ with each other. A lot of that information is pattern-recognition heuristics that we don’t even really have conscious access to.
Still though, I think that if both arguers are pretty rational and spend some time sharing information, there’s a pretty good chance that they end up agreeing.

Can we agree that if I disagree with that, it also serves as a counterexample?

… or, at least, have a pretty good idea on exactly what they have different opinions on and why. Which is as good as it gets, for me.

How much time have you two spent sharing information?
