if you knew that an ultrafinitist had arguments that you would find persuasive and convince you of ultrafinitism, would you let them speak to you?

so 'do you assume the worst about others' susceptibility to being convinced but not your own' in some sense seems vaguely adaptive in certain situations but also seems bad most of the time

I think I get it. T = for any people X, Y and statement P, if X believes that Y can convince X of P, then X believes P. A believes T. A believes B can convince A of ¬T. Not sure what the question is asking, though.

Some sort of modal logic is applicable here, depending on what you want to assume about how A thinks. Certainly in the weakest modal logic (K), we can derive: A believes that A believes ¬T.
