How exactly did the thought process go, if you don't mind passing a stone again?

It's like a brickwall of nebulous, ever changing logic. You would argue point A, they'd argue point B, you'd get them to understand point B is dumb, they'd start arguing point C with bits of point A sprinkled in as long as it supports them. Then they'd grab random ass talking points to back them up on certain things like "regulations won't improve industrial farming because that same logic allows municipalities to put fluoride in the water for mind control and promoting bone spur growth." Yes. That was a real argument. No, I don't understand what that means.

Do you think it's even possible to convince someone like that of taking a more reasonable position, or at least researching one proper? Do you think it's worth it?

Hmm. You can't make people be reasonable. For people to be reasonable about these, they have to first have a desire to be reasonable. Once they do, they start to drift to more reasonable thought processes by their own volition.
