https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aumann's_agreement_theorem

I think after sufficient debate, reasons behind one of the party's disagreement can be boiled down to things like:

- stubbornness

- conflict of interest

- lack of comprhension

The problem is if the party, that is logically correct, is in the minority, or if the other party has significant social strength, then a lot of social psychology (bandwagon, group think, validation, etc) also plays a role.



Yes, understandably, these are things that prevent agreement. But my question was more along the lines of: what can make someone agree with me despite those factors?
