That's technically true, but the question then becomes, why are our assumptions different?

If it's based on different beliefs of what reality is (ground work), it would be normal to fight for truth.

If it's based on our affinity for the result of the argumentation (the house), it would also be normal to fight for our own benefit and those like us.

So realistically i don't see any reason as to why we should respect each other's opinions... all would incentives us to fight for the correct assumptions.

This in itself doesn't mean we should stop respecting people though!
