Pointing out the truth, particulaly in a manner where they are forced to see the truth, and best if it can be done in a manner that doesn't get interpreted as a personal attack OR condesention, actually works well with people who do have the integrity of an open mind.

However, a good share of the public has been more or less trained to react like the old joke about art/pornography, "I don't know/can't tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it!"

Some people are so conditioned, we will never reach them.
