I understand your point, but I think what we all learned very recently is that idiots will be idiots regardless of what you show them.
Look at people from /r/joerogan for example, antivax and antimasks and such. No matter what information you show them, they always have their own biased (non factual, wrong) sources. They just hide in that. Is it not better to just cut the propagation of false information from the start? Avoid the congregation of sick/wrong ideas?

No, but you can convince them by being close enough to them that your distaste for their nonsense is palpable and constant.
That can’t happen if you’ve chased them off though.
That’s exactly right. You could show them proof right before their eyes and they would still reject it because their opinion is not about what is being right or wrong, it’s about being against the mainstream.

Sigh It’s at times like these that I remember: “Never argue with a stupid person. They will bring you down to their level and win.”
