Summary

This quote highlights the often contrasting outcomes of arguments in different domains. It suggests that in a purely logical or factual context, truth will ultimately prove to be dominant.

This notion implies that, in matters of politics, emotions, persuasions, and manipulations can overshadow objective truths. It reflects a skepticism about the integrity of political discourse and suggests that truth-seeking may face greater challenges in the realm of politics compared to other arenas of debate and reasoning.
