I second this. But I hardly get the desired effect, because It tends to shut people up or they get emotional and start lashing out because I've questioned their beliefs. I'd really like to hear their reasoning , but it turns out that a lot of people don't have reasons behind the claims they make. Most likely because they just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind just so they can be part of the conversation. Side: True.

I would have to agree with this , I have won many intellectual discussions with my my friends by asking them questions and I have lost many because they asked questions and I didn't . But not all questions work because some of my friends asked a good a question in theory but I quicker destroyed his argument with another question that was superior to his . Side: True.

Or, you can just 'point out' their flaws in various ways. Mostly, when you ask questions intending for their revelation, they often prevaricate. This does not get anywhere, seeing as how the prevarication leads elsewhere, (which probably includes more flaws.) But if they choose to be incorrigible, well, that's on them. Insofar as it is flawed, there need not be any worry. Just refrain from arguing.. Side: Do you truly believe that?

Is this supposed to be a clever question? But if you insist an answer; I wrote an argument to refute the idea of questioning leading to favorability to ones (the questioner) side; and to bring awareness to what 'pointing out flaws' can do. (Let me guess, this is going to have a following question right?) Side: True.
