Perfection in compromise on TFP:
You: I think we need a flat tax system.
Me: Not even close. The rich require higher taxes to help alleviate the negative effects of class division.
You: But the rich are paying far more than their share in taxes.
Me: OK, I'll agree to a flat tax. I know it's wrong, but we need to compromise.
You: Really? Cool.
Me: ...
You: Now what?
Compromise in an environment of discussion leads to silence.
