This is a great lesson to learn. I've had people disbelieve me when I've told them some of my most memorable and important conversations have started off with someone telling me I was wrong. Being able to discuss, defend, and articulate a point a view with someone who passionately disagrees with it teaches you how your point of view is perceived and received by others.

It is of course a less useful experience when someone disagrees with you but they cannot articulate why. I will try to probe disagreement to understand their point of view at least as well as they do in order to understand why we disagree.

A hard raise is just such a protracted disagreement in some sense.
