I understand what you are saying, put either way. H

However,a fruitful conflict-free discussion requires agreed upon debating rules (which rarely occur) and "good intentions" on both sides throughout the discussion. When something occurs to break thhe discusssion down, emotion can emerge from either, or both sides that contributes to a breakdown in the discussion, postering and eventual disagreement. For example in a discussion, one could react by concluding the other is illogical, or rude. In the same example, the other person may conclude that the other is inflexable or a "know it all" . Both conclusions come from the same emotion, and failure to accurately analyse what actually occured in the discussion.
