Simply because you hold the opinion that people shouldn't give a shit about wildly important subjects in proving truth or not doesn't mean everyone else who doesn't is in the wrong. If people just didn't "get too focused on trying to prove a point" we wouldn't have half of the things we have in our life today. It is this slacker mentality that promotes inefficient, lackadaisical, and lethargic living principles that lead to no cultural or societal progression at all. If humanity as a whole lived by the premise that you stated in this subject we'd still be enslaving people because of their skin pigment and seeing women as lesser beings.
Maybe you hear and argument and go back to the previous mind-set, but most critical thinking people take an argument into consideration and revise their opinions based upon what is truthful. If you seriously just see an argument that could potential fell a belief that you hold and simply disregard it then you are living in a pool of ignorance and I abhor you. Trying to find out if what you believe is right or wrong is the farthest thing from "petty crap" in the world..
