What I took away from this topic was the fact that the "right to my own opinion" was a fallacy due to the fact that it was used preemptively when wanting to get away from an argument. The falsity of this cliché was used when the author used Jack and Jill for his examples and using this example to show that any type of diversion, such as the right to ones own opinion, does not get us any closer to the truth. The main thing I took away from this article was the fact that argument is good because it helps us learn as people and improves our knowledge as well. Mr. Whyte made a good point on how we view our opinion as sacred and we find offense if someone challenges that point of view. This is why we need to "embrace debate" as ESPN'S First Take show is so famous for quoting.
