>my most memorable and important conversations have started off with someone telling me I was wrong

OT: I just had a conversation like this that was one of the most enjoyable conversations I or my partner had had in a long time. We sort of had an unspoken agreement where she was just going to challenge everything I said and force me to explain / defend all of my positions as we wandered all over various political and cultural topics. It was a blast!

We were at a party, and people kept checking in, like they were worried we were in a fight or something, which was kind of funny.
