I agree completely. I always assume there are younger folks in the room who haven’t formed an opinion on everything yet.
It's not just that, even us old and opinionated people can be swayed when we aren't in the fight, given we have the wisdom to let ourselves listen to arguments. Especially if we keep seeing similar ideas from those we see as peers. It's just that when we feel confronted most people (myself included) dig in rather than reevaluate.
