The world is not made of arguments. Think not "which of whese arguments, for these two opposing sides, is more compelling? And how reliable is compellingness?" Think instead of the objects the arguments discuss, and let the arguments guide your thoughts about them.
If an argument misleads you, think not "I have learned that similarly compelling arguments are often wrong." Think instead of which step within it was wrong, and adjust your thoughts so that they are not so easily guided down wrong paths.

If you think you have proofs of both A and ¬A, think not "which proof is more persuasive?". Instead, observe that you are mistaken. Either the two statements are not in fact opposed, or one supposed-proof contains a flaw. Don't weigh proofs; seek flaws. So too with arguments.

Arguments are not personal beliefs - they're weapons when fighting for social capital. If your core beliefs are anything close to your social signalling beliefs, you're a losing agent

Arguments, like lies, are piggybacking on the human ability to reliably pass on knowledge (The Secret of Our Success). Not saying it's bad or good, just inevitable.
