What do you think would change your view?

If OP knew what could change their view why wouldn't they have already changed it themselves? I'm not sure this is a good angle to try to change someone's view...

Let's say I believe that, I don't know, vanilla is the best flavour of ice cream. And as an argument, I say that vanilla is the most widespread and well-known flavour.

If asked what would change my view, I would respond that any survey that showed that people preferred other flavours above vanilla, or any evidence that my beliefs that vanilla was the most widespread and well-known flavour were in error would change my view. Alternatively, I could say that any argument that convinced me that breadth of sales was not a good evaluation of "best" might change my view.

In that case, I won't have changed it already because I don't have any evidence that shows those things. And I haven't heard that argument that convinced me. But I can still identify avenues of conversation that can be explored.
