It's an opportunity to realize how badly your opponents misunderstand you, plus (should you be foolish) an additional opportunity to come to recognize how impossible it is to explain what they've missed in grasping your position.

It's the diff between talking to a CEO that has decision making authority vs talking to a pre programmed computer on the phone, in an Indian accent.
Human society is not equal, there is a hierarchy and it does matter.
Giggle, giggle, giggle.
