From this discussion, I realised that I often forget that if you look long enough, you will realise that people are not stupid; they have reasons for the choices they make that are quite logical, if only you will pause long enough to listen to their POV.

However, I also reiterate that being able to acknowledge the validity of the processes by which someone arrives at their POV does not make their POV more acceptable. But it is important, even if only to remind me that their decisions were made carefully and not rashly, as I often presuppose.
