that "the growth of knowledge depends upon disagreement."

-Karl Popper

I disagree.

2. this is exactly how science advances.

we craft theories that are then put to the test against each other and experimental/ observational data.

So yes, growth of knowledge does depend upon disagreement on how things work, at least in science .

3. I disagree with your disagreement.

See how much smarter we are now?

4. Well I guess we can agree to disagree

Which is a statement that really irritates me

5. I agree, it is a statement used by people who cannot win an argument.
