This is an attempt to classify disagreement reasons, along with tips on working past impasses. * Disagree with Authority (ArgumentFromAuthority) * Too many variables - There are lots of metrics or evidence specimens, but the weights given to each is in dispute. (TooManyVariablesForScience) * Definition - LaynesLaw * Miscommunication (dreadfully frequent; sometimes results in ViolentAgreement) * Differing set of accepted axioms * Differing priorities, especially if these are not recognised * Personality clash (biggest and most frequent cause of all) ---- When you find yourself arguing with someone, even though they are basically right, it is time to quit, because you really don't have a legit reason for the argument. The real reason being, "you just don't like the guy".
