Having your mind changed JUST by a debate isn't a great idea, because you have no idea how accurate the things the other person/people have said are.

Only exception I can think of is if you already on some level recognise that what the other side is saying is true, OR if presented with unquestionable logic.
Ahhh what would we do without you Boy? Explaining debate for us x
