though i'd argue hat asking about the root cause of argumentation may be crucial to understanding perspective and general direction of reasoning
I agree. Though, in practice, at least in internet arguments, people tend to "diagnose" people so they can dismiss them in some manner, rather than grapple with the argument being presented. In the "Oh, you are just a so and so, I don't need to entertain this" kinda manner.
these are wise words, indeed! i agree
