I tell my design students that the only truly portable skill they will learn at university is the power to argue, which I frame as a 'super power'. From the article:

> "An argument should be a collaboration between two people to find the truth."

Well yes, it can certainly take that form. But I don't think that there is any shame to admitting that it can also be a way to get your own way. An argument can be an act of seduction, the aim of which is to seed novel ideas into the ether.
