Philosophical argument, trying to get someone to believe something whether he wants to believe it or not, is not, I have held, a nice way to behave towards someone; also it does not fit the original motivation for studying or entering philosophy.

The philosophical goal of explanation rather than proof not only is morally better, it is more in accord with one's philosophical motivation.
