No one wins an argument. Even if one person out-argues the other, he hasn't really
won if he has created resentment and anger against himself.
Every one wins a discussion. When a topic is considered from several viewpoints, and
information is brought into focus, everyone can come away with a better understanding. It
is not unusual for people to change their minds during a discussion.
The difference? Arguments are focused on who's right. Discussions are focused on
what's right.
