Can you give an example of a disagreement?

Friend proposes policy A, I think policy A is obviously bad. How do I most efficiently determine whether we have fundamentally different values or believe different facts to be the case?

"I think policy A is bad because it would cause B."
"But policy A wouldn't cause B. Also it would cause C which is good."
"If policy A did turn out to cause B, would A still be good?"
