Yes times ten! So the discussion very very quickly develops a lopsided nature, harmful to changing minds.
I try and say upfront somewhere that whereas I am pretty clear on most of the detail of what they believe and why, they are entirely unaware of my body of knowledge. And since it is competing narratives the person who has studied both goes in to any discussion with a big 'advantage'. I can speak to all their (usually) pretty vague understandings, typically just impressions of the carefully repeated memes they are fed (eg pandemic of the unvaccinated, save grannie, covid is deadly etc etc) with no technical backing. And the few that looked at some of the CDC biased case control studies (they are not) or whatever else that 'supports the narrative' (eg Lancet 20 million lives saved! fuquit dreamings paper) immediately find I am up on all that, more than they.
So that is super lopsided, difficult not to destroy that interaction as the redpill target slips into sullen silence. Its a problem. They dont know what they dont know.
