It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

So, first off, that's not what rhetoric is or how that works.

Rhetoric is the style of argument used, the kinds of ways that you argue points, the allusions you draw between arguments, what evidence you focus on or dismiss, things like that.

You can easily convince a lot of people with impressive rhetoric that relies on false premises, or you can also easily fail to convince people with logically sound and factually valid arguments but which are presented in a rhetorically uninteresting or off putting way to the audience or reader or whatever.

I am not really using any rhetoric at all here, just listing a bunch of causal factors

And yes, there are sources for all of this, and no I do not feel like spending an entire day searching for published scientific studies that evidence what should basically be familiar to anyone who has ever had to commute to work in a car would know are true.

You spouted a bunch of bullshit and refuse to source any of it.
