### Non-Bayesian minds do not update on some aspects of available evidence.
If you know a mind is such a non-Bayesian, it's useless to argue with it,
since arguments are just another type of evidence that it cannot update on.
All we can do is to observe, detect dangers that might be posed by such
minds, and use appropriate defensive and offensive tactics to respond to
danger.
