Not necessarily. There are discussions in which I dont engage with certain 'challenging ideas' or rather walls of statements that need to be evaluated and put into context. If i know already that this discussion is not important enough for me and the points provided are not promising and novel (for me) enough, aka stupid on first glance, to later invest the time to revisit those ideas, research, evaluate and putting them into context, which no one can do for me, than i may not bother with those points to begin with. Afterall one cant be bothered with all stupid ideas about something that exists. Written forms of auch discussions are there more productive since one can do the research etc. in the moment. Allthough that to takes time.

In short no one has the time to truly interlectually and honestly engage all 'challenging ideas' there are. One must always make a certain preselections, with very shallow engagement.

One might have to smuggle in an '...all [challengin ideas ...]' to make this statement more accurate.

    This ist very true. Maybe the proposed challenging Idea ist Not as Genius AS you think or you weren't able to communicate it's advantages good enough. Additionally If a Individuum regularly has 9/10 haywire ideas maybe the 1/10 genius Idea gets guilty of association (sry, but people are people).
