Those children grow up to be the ones writing policy. They are people too, don't forget that you were also once a child.

The "stupidest shit" that is said is often due to them being isolated and in a social bubble where those beliefs are the norm. Those "Internet arguments" may be the only exposure to ideas outside and social pushback outside said bubble.

Lack of evidence of outcome is not evidence of outcome.

If you're getting heated you're doing it wrong.

The payoff isn't to convince the other person one way or another, it's to provide others reading the discussion alternative viewpoints. In this case pushing back against the idea that children's thoughts, feelings and questions should be ignored.
