22. Entice, or fail.

It's political. It satisfies some perverse urge to read (or say) something that makes your opponent look like a fool. But it's not productive.

If you're trying to convince people that your economic point-of-view (or, whatever) is the right one, making your opponent look like a fool will be cheered by those who already support your position. But it won't win you any converts from among your opponents. It's not productive.

That's what I think.
