There is a reason why Agreeableness is one of the Big five personality traits.

As mentioned below, it is somewhat compulsive to avoid getting trapped in a chain of logic that starts with some nonsensical over-generization like "the sky is blue" or error like "the current tariffs on india will kill Apple" (and I am compelled to point out that the threatened tariffs for the complicity with Russia's invasion of Ukraine may affect Apple but we don't know yet).

Even if we have learned not to say those objections out loud, they still take up space in our brain during discussions.
