I mostly agree. I agree with nhy that you have the same tendency most have - that when one finds oneself in a difference of opinion, it can be difficult to not assume the other person would only agree if they understood all that one understands.
I generally try to go very discordian there, and opt out of the disagreement as a disagreement and assume all things are equal (equally true and/or equally false).
Or, I rage internally and tune out. If I can't see how a person could logically and rationally come to a different conclusion, it becomes quite easy to tune them out. It's harsh, but it's social survival. Not everyone needs to get along with everyone, which includes me. :)
