So, you've had a more polite, pleasant, and civilized discussion. But was it more fruitful?
As far as I can tell. I tend to be able to grok the beliefs (and sources of the beliefs) faster in these kinds of venues than elsewhere. Understanding the other side's position deeply sometimes dissolves the argument, and sometimes refocuses us on the heart of whatever we're split on and how to test it.
Do you think this is universal or specific to your type of thinking/understanding/interacting?
I understand what you are saying, but can see advantages in both a relaxed kitchen discussion and a, let's say, a swordfight.
