      When your entire strategy in an argument is to be disingenuous and dishonest as all hell, you ALWAYS feel like you win the arguments.

      It can trick a person into thinking they are a good debater.

      Because eventually the sane people stop talking to them. And that means they forfeit the debate and the crazy person wins it be default.
