It is impossible to use logical, reasoned arguments supported by facts as a means to convince people of anything. If convincing is needed in the first place then the possibility of 'winning' any such argument is impossible. Any whim of imagination or heresay can be used by people who have no understanding of logic to refute anything, no matter how well argued, presented or grounded in fact the answer may be.
