Yes, I've debated the opposite to my beliefs and found it to be a fruitful lesson, but I have only done that as an exercise with the other participant fully aware of the exercise.
I also like debating with people who have different opinions because it challenges me. Through researching information and putting a response together I learn and grow. It's not necessary that those I debate with learn and grow, too. It's their choice which is separate from my choice.
If anyone else enjoys, or learns from an argument I propose, that's a bonus.
I know you said earlier that you wished you hadn't started this debate, but I have enjoyed your input (and Sel's). It's pushed me reflect on all sorts of things I otherwise wouldn't have.

I used to pick up offcuts of fabric from Habitat in the 90's and make myself clothes out of them.I walked into the shop one day and bumped into a sofa wearing the same from as me.
