I can also tell you firsthand that doing a lot research and presenting facts 
doesn't always work, either.  The anti-(whatever) people often will NOT 
accept facts as proven by research.  They have an agenda, they make their 
living off that agenda, because there is a lot of federal and private money 
put into being "anti-" and they don't want to lose their money.  I am not 
being cynical when I say this; this is based on personal and family 
experience.
That said, we may as well at least try to present our facts based on 
research.  But if we are up against people who believe that a man on foot 
should be the only one to enter an area, you may do all the research you 
want because that is what they believe (or say they believe) and 
please...don't confuse them with facts.
