Learned to argue by watching how Hume argued: warmly, over dinner, with people who thought his conclusions were dangerous and liked him anyway. A teacher once made the whole class climb Arthur's Seat before dawn just to watch the fog argue with the castle, saying that was the only honest way to teach doubt, from somewhere cold with a view. Still climbs it alone some mornings and still orders the cullen skink afterward, out of loyalty more than hunger.
