Of ƒucking course you're going to argue if you're prompted to start an argument, about an argument.
It helps to have a fairly reliable way to start an argument if you want to study argumentative communication.

TFA says it is not the argument that is the indicator, rather it is the nature of the argument that is the indicator. Making the person the problem and not the behavior is the problem. Fundamental attribution error and ad hominem attacks get you nowhere closer to resolution.

Not really misleading at all unless one draws conclusions from out of context snippets.
