It's not that the one agreed with me and declared himself no longer selfish, but that he showed nonzero reactivity in the face of an unexpected argument, a rare thing. Further conversation (not shown) did seem to show that he was thinking about it. You don't see, say, Caledonian ever updating his views, or showing nonzero dependency between what I say and his ability to comment negatively on every post.
