I will offer this: When we’re talking about deep-set beliefs, we’re not really talking about logic. Logic can derive “Truth” out of other things we already know to be true, but cannot set the foundation layer of knowledge.
So changing deep-set ideas is a process of getting new ideas past a crusty outer shell of psychological defense mechanisms.
The standard ways of setting the deep beliefs are parents in early childhood, direct personal observation (the stuff of science) and spiritual sight.
But Q is neither a parent nor a spiritual counselor. So Q adopted the Socratic mechanism of asking questions and letting our own minds find their way.
This works, given time, but not on everybody. I think a certain intense curiosity, a desire to peek behind the curtain, is an important ingredient.
Then there is the factor of time.
Some of those who are not convinced immediately will come around later, as if by osmosis. Lots of them, in fact, if Q is proven right about Sessions et al. running a giant trap on the swamp critters.
Then they’ll say they knew it all along.
I see you know the pattern too well, too.
