A quote from a paper I’m reading:

“To convert any ‘enemy’, we must show him not simply that [we] are against him, but that he is wrong, wrong according to his own fundamental standards. To tell him that he is wrong according to our standards gets us nowhere, though it may be great fun; the problem is to find, among his standards, at least one that is violated by what he proposes to do.”
