I agree you will almost never debate your opponent into a different point of view but you can change the beliefs of the audience sometimes.

For instance I don't mind if you change your opinion on the merit of debating creationists but I'm hoping to sway anyone else that reads this to my point of view.

c) Debating someone does not legitimize their proposition. I believe you are legitimizing their proposition if you refuse to debate them.
