This is something I've struggled with, and am still struggling with. It still feels with this level of intellectual honesty that you hamstring yourself. You're left with out any real opinion or concrete thought to move forward with, if you start from a position of, "I can't know, and neither do they."
The author realised and cared that he wasn't changing other people's opinions and driving them away; I suspect many people that engage in confrontational debate simply don't care and enjoy the fight as much as the outcome. That is my perception of some people I have encountered on the internet :)
