Summary

This quote suggests that discussion and argumentation are different in their ultimate purpose and outcome. It implies that discussions are based on an exchange between individuals, where knowledge is shared, ideas are explored, and understanding is fostered. On the other hand, arguments are seen as exchanges of ignorance since they often involve individuals defending their own opinions with limited understanding. The quote highlights the importance of engaging in productive discussions that aim to expand knowledge rather than engaging in futile arguments that contribute to ignorance.
