Does nobody enjoy a good debate anymore?
The purpose of the Fact -> Logic -> New Fact approach is that it explains the reasoning behind opinions and allows people to weigh up the virtues of an arguement and challenge the individual premices or the validity of logical steps without a heavy reliance on personal experience. Thus allowing people from very different experiences to better understand one anothers' views.
My ideas are not set in stone. I was raised mostly as a scientist of which one of the important things I learned was that I can never be sure I won't be proved wrong. It happens all the time. Infact, I'd invite people to do it. I'd rather be shown to be wrong and then better understand something, than be wrong for far longer and not know it. The points presented are not in "defence" of my point of view rather they are the source of it. In other words if doubt can be raised regarding these points then doubt is raised in my view of the subject as a whole and thus is my opinion changed.
If you don't have the time for a discussion then that's ok, but please don't leave it because of a belief that I cannot be reasoned with. I enjoy being taught.
