That is good, but what value do they bring?

If nothing else, it's practice for the next time you hear it, you can workout your arguments against it.

I also find it quite fascinating to try understanding other people, I already understand the reasoning behind my beliefs and already know what I know. Talking to someone different from me is much more interesting than talking to someone very similar to me.

That is good point. But it requires for them to want to engage in honest discussion and not just spew useless crap they have filled their heads with. And worst ones are incapable of that.

It usually doesn't take long to work out if a discussion is going to be interesting/worth while or not, although some people can be deceiving!
