I think that the real determinant of conversation quality is the people participating (not the techniques). They have to want to analyze rationally, and they have to know how to. Most people don't want to, and don't know how to. I think the techniques you talked about might help a little bit though.

WIth this hypothesis of mine in mind, I think a better question is, "how do you find the right people to have conversations with?".
