Yeah, “accept” suggests that all views are acceptable, and if they are, why in the world would you bother debating them or trying to break them down?
All views are NOT acceptable, but the expression of them is certainly acceptable, as that provides the platform for debate.
That said, debate seems fairly useless outside academic circles. Life experience with positive representations of differing views seems like the only thing that’s truly effective.
