Emotional appeals, clever distractions, and attacks on an opponent’s credibility often get quick reactions and can make our position seem stronger in the moment. Yet beneath the surface, these strategies erode trust, distort understanding, and replace reason with manipulation. When we lean on them, we may win a momentary argument, but we risk losing credibility, accuracy, and the chance for genuine dialogue.
