An Alternative to Argument

Rather than argue (unless, of course, you find arguing a value in itself) it is better to present facts and offer the conclusions you have drawn from them, permitting others to do the same if that is what they can or wish to do.  Argument is a function of interpretation or derives from predetermined factors, the filters through which fact will be viewed.  To accept the offer of such an argument is to use yourself poorly, and after a short time trying to reconcile some interpretations may lose its value.
