You have a point there, still in practice how difficult would it be to
What about cases like a mathematician who just chooses to start with another set of basic axioms?
Lest we don't get lost in a forest of arguments I want to phrase my original point again: we all operate under certain assumptions and no two people probably have the same ones so our conclusions might also differ.
But diagnosing conflicting assumptions does not require that the discussion end. The fallacy of the conversation halter Eliezer cites is assuming that it does end the discussion (therefore protecting the speaker from further defense of their position).
