I think there is a difference between being exposed to evidence of the contrary and sitting on it for a while. I don't think you can change someone's mind in a conversation. Rarely so. But if the person is "forced" to think about the topic and the evidence, eventually they will change their mind.

I think that studies show that while facts can help, most significant changes of mind happen when a person is emotionally invested in the change.
