Hum...hom... so I would disagree with that right away. LOL ;)

if it's me who's a plank in a dialogue, as we say here, and I'm the more intellectually immature of the two, it's probably an immense challenge for the other person to debate with me airhead. Online, that's less the case, I rarely put up a front, but take my time.... or at least the few seconds or minutes between the passing of comments are already a time advantage. Offline is more like it. I can be caught spontaneously and without cover. HaHa! Which is perhaps better anyway, who knows?

In fact, it's probably the biggest challenge of all to talk to someone you think or believe has a limited horizon. Helping them to get the "best out of themselves" would then be a kind of master test for the debater. Without thinking that one is helping the other, but it would have to be a rather selfish act to help someone else. If you know what I mean?
