nice to hear you're keeping an open mind why should i concede a point if i disagree i don't debate if i agree there's no need to here's how it works i make a point you disagree and make a counter point if i am swayed by your point i concede that your argument was stronger than mine and we move on the reason i don't concede is that i disagree with your points we might agree on some level however the point you hoped that i'd concede was central to my counter argument it follows that since there is little unique information in the individual articles they should not be listed separately if i agree with you that there is significant information in the individual articles then it weakens my whole argument maybe it's my debate background that's getting the best of me i'm engaging you in a debate and rather than disagreeing with me and responding you're saying that i'm being hostile if you consider disagreement with you hostility i don't know where to go from there if your intent is to sway me you're not going to have very much luck i've laid my case out and it's rock solid feel free to counter me now that's how it's done
