Ethical Disagreement Demands Sharing Reasons and Allowing Debate

When ethical Software Engineers disagree about something, they always share with others their reasons for disagreement because they care about others' well-being and want to provide them feedback to help them course-correct when they are wrong for the benefit of the community at large. Also, ethical Software Engineers always humbly open themselves up to debate to acknowledge the possibility of being wrong and to benefit from correction if needed. By sharing their reasons for disagreement and allowing others the room to debate, they objectively explore the topics of disagreement until they arrive at a mutual understanding with others whereby both parties either correct themselves gradually or reveal points that the other party was not aware of until they resolve all of the disagreement successfully.

As such, telling others the reasons for disagreement and staying humbly open for debate are two very important characteristics in ethical Software Engineers that are required for effective team work. 

Software Engineers who try to avoid providing their reasons for disagreement not only show a lack of care about improving the knowledge of the other party and community at large to improve collective work quality long term, but they are sometimes masking hidden discrimination against the person they are disagreeing with. Sometimes, they do not want to accept a correct version of the truth from someone else just because they do not personally like that person or actually hate that person, and do not want to treat them with equality or as equals to all members of society, yet want to maintain a higher ground above them. Silencing debates becomes then a tool for masking discrimination because if no debate takes place, the disagreeing Software Engineer who does so purely out of discriminatory reasons could never be found out. In other cases, getting unreasonably angry and silencing debates happens simply to avoid revealing lies that the Software Engineer believes and lives at the expense of everybody else, which they want to maintain to keep a lazy or incompetent work ethic while customers and other Software Engineers are paying for their laziness and incompetence. It is like someone who wants to continue to believe in Santa Claus at the expense of everyone else instead of hearing and accepting the truth, by requiring everyone else to work hard at maintaining the lie that Santa Claus exists in all their interactions even if that lie is basically hindering work quality significantly for customers. 

In summary, ethical Software Engineers always provide reasons for their disagreement while humbly opening themselves up for debate. Not providing an explanation for the reasons of disagreement and silencing debates are often immediate tell-tale signs of a non-equality-minded discriminator. If someone avoids telling you what they disagree about and do not want you to debate the disagreement any further, know that it is a red herring as they are not treating you with equality and objectivity, or are masking a lie that they want to live at the expense of others.
