A dismissal of an argument about British procurement gives no specific objection that can be answered. A useful reply would identify the disputed points and explain how knowledge or experience supports a different view. The preference here is for debate that permits people to compare ideas, improve their understanding, and revise an opinion. Sensitive subjects and strong disagreements can remain open to discussion when participants avoid personal insults. Compromise is presented as a reasonable outcome of working through opposing positions.
