Honestly, now as a young adult I’ve been coming to the conclusion this isn’t just a teen thing. Trying to convince an adult to change their mind rarely works by just having the best/more logically consistent argument. 

The fact there was a word/branch of philosophy(?) for this I wasn’t aware; thanks for giving me something to go look up later. :p

Not only a branch of philosophy, it is the basis on from which all philosophy rests.

It is why the greek philosophers were considered so annoying, they kept asking "why."

You might find it entertaining to search "street epistomology" on YouTube to see folks have conversations about their beliefs - I have found it very useful when when meeting flat earthers, homophobes and crypto enthusiasts.
