I believe my point to be correct and want myself and my interlocutor to agree on the correct answer. Therefore I want both: If we both reach a truth that is not my prior belief, that’s a win, and if I get my interlocutor to agree with a true point that’s a win. If I’m right and fail to get agreement that is a loss, and if I am wrong and get agreement, that is a greater loss.
So basically: I’m greedy. Answers to both questions please :)
That’s a good point; sorry for the ambiguity.
