Generally speaking, participants in a radio discussion take up a certain position and defend it to the last, concerned more with parrying the opinions of the other speakers. than yielding to them, and it takes a very good chairman to persuade these young Fortinbras to yield an inch or two of. ground. apiece to provide something for the discussion to rest on.
