The section on not-arguing seems exactly in line with my thought on the matter. Well, I’d qualify “never tell others that they are wrong” a bit more—I’d say you should make sure it’s factually true, and make sure that the person has practice in admitting mistakes in this area (think math students in math). But if those conditions hold, you can save a lot of time and condescension.
Anyhow, instead of making a post out of not-arguing like I’d half-planned, I may just fillet Carnegie.
