Most of the time they won't accept the facts, or are immune to reason. They usually respond with one or several of <a href="http://rockstarramblings.blogspot.com/2006/05/doggerel-index-suggestions.html" rel="nofollow">these</a>. That list already has over 100 ways they can avoid the truth, and I don't see it ending any time soon. Once in a while I find someone who will listen and learn, but in those cases, it's usually someone who is generally pretty rational, and had something slip under their radar. I'll admit, it occasionally happens to me, too. When I'm eventually confronted with the truth, however, I'm typically thankful, rather than defensive or argumentative (although I'm usually also quite embarrassed). That’s the problem.

If that individual rejects those facts, then he just shot himself in the foot and you can latch on to that to discredit the entire premise. Of course, this doesn't make for good friendly dinner conversation. So you're still left with the dillemma: friends an quackery or aggrevation and truth? I figure I'm going to be aggrevated anyway, might as well do my part and help chip away some of the bullshit in the world. I usually go with option #1 and attempt to calmly make a case.
