It's the meaning we made of the world. That's the way that we all hear one another's point of view, and also the way that our points of view can be explored and refined. That's the balance of advocacy and inquiry that we talk about in Dialogue. Offering, not advocacy. The point of saying what you think is to offer it to the group as a point of view to examine.
Advocate sounds too much like what lawyers do.
Lawyers are hired to have their client's point of view prevail. They want their assumption to win. But in Dialogue we're not interested in winning. In Dialogue we want a point of view to be a place to learn from, a point of departure. That doesn't mean you don't share your reasoning, and the data that informed that reasoning.
