Should we stop making logically sound but unpalatable arguments?

[erostrate]

How palatable an argument is determines its actual impact. It's not logical to spend effort making arguments that are so unpalatable that they will just make people ignore you.

Deontologically, maybe it's principally better to make an argument you know you can't refute. Maybe even just to try to convince yourself otherwise.

I know the person making this argument isn't necessarily aligned with deontology. Maybe that was your original point.
