there is no way, just to explain your reasons.

it's the same as having jehova witnesses come over to your door, wanting you to convert. then you explain why and you have good reason, and yet they still don't want to believe you.

it takes mistakes for people to learn now, and not "i'll just take your word for it"

i myself am not really making mistakes, but experimenting, which in itself, is making "good mistakes"
