Could be. But I'd bet he has seen what happens to understanding when people argue to promote understanding rather than arguing for the sake of appearing right, or refusing to discuss things at all.
And I'd also bet that, like me, what he has seen/experienced shows that the first method, arguing with the intent of expanding understanding, has been much more effective than any other approach.
