What's bugging me right now is that I have a rhetorical strategy of minimal conflict. I'm not pathologically conflict-averse, I will have the fight that needs to be had, but I will try to avoid big, heavy issues in a technical context, because it's not really possible to win on those issues; consensus is won by inches, and trying to win in a big ideological debate is a detour of several miles. And this makes those massive, unwinnable debates a hard requirement.
