Any given argument will eventually open up deeper and wider when it becomes engaged. An argument always has to begin somewhere, and to point somewhere, and to look upon it, and then to follow it, is to go somewhere else from there.
That is if the argument is made in good faith. Bad faith is a whole other thing.
Sophists saw some of this reality, though ended up acquiring an unfavorable reputation for exploiting that insight.
And arguments lead to actions, and actions lead to feedback. And then it all changes once again.
