Two well informed people can come to different conclusions on the same topic despite both having access to the same information. Its their underlying believes that makes both feel their opinion is right and logical.

If you want to change opinions you have to change the underlying believes that form them. And you have to do it in a way that they feel they figured it out on their own.

If you do it in a "push down the throat" way it will just make it worse.

In that light i dont think the ban was a good idea...
