This is a bizarrely anti-democratic. "Winning" isn't the important part of discussing a topic with multiple points of view.

democracy demands that a drooling idiot gets to have equal say as any genius with his vote. since there are far more drooling idiots than geniuses we can easily see why democracy has typically been so dystopian, and only seems to get worse over time.
maybe you should educate us as to why democracy like this belongs in professional settings where efficiency and correctness determine outcome and profit/ job security.
Your argument assumes that all work places and all the debates within them are hierarchical, which they are not.
Do you believe all points of view are equally valuable?
No, but I also didn't say that. I'd say that some arguments are also interesting instead of right or wrong. Some people just have interesting brains. This thread is very meta.
If they are not (in a small team) you have real problems. Not everyone will be right or be happy, but their pov has value, and equally? More or less.
You aren't answering the question. You are reframing the question so you can give the answer you want, thereby avoiding giving the real answer to the question presented.

Come on, try commenting something more effortful, interesting, or substantial than "do you really believe <strawman they didn't say>?" or at least, something funnier? We've all got to while away the time until death arguing on the internet forever, at least give it some oomph.
Some are more equal than others.
