The way to convince another is to state your case moderately andaccurately. Then scratch your head, or shake it a little and say that is theway it seems to you, but that of course you may be mistaken about it; whichcauses your listener to receive what you have to say, and as like as not,turn about and try to convince you of it, since you are in doubt. But if yougo at him in a tone of positiveness and arrogance, you only make an opponentof him. Benajmin Franklin
