How to Be Unpersuasive. Posted December 21, 2016. I've been teaching you how to be persuasive for the past year. But I should also tell you what doesn't work for changing people's minds.. Analogies: Analogies are good tools for explaining a concept to someone for the first time. But because analogies are imperfect they are the worst way to persuade.
Any comparison is obfuscated by the [expensive brand name] repackaging. Thirteen gallon jugs would be more appropriate. ....and cheaper.

edit: Still no word on whether slowmover's ban is temporary?
