Do people have legitimate pushback to A/B testing? I mean, some don't. They just hate being proven wrong. But there are others who DO have legitimate pushback. How do we address this?

Ton "The Don" Wesseling offered a ton of helpful thoughts on how we could actually push back on "logical" (but incorrect) reasons why people don't want to A/B test.

We got into:

- Pushing back on "not all tests win" without sounding like an asshole

- Pick your battles wisely, and invest time in those who WANT to test (while don't prioritize those who DON'T want to test... for your own sanity)

- Legitimize their concern. Don't talk down to them like they're wrong, because that doesn't help you, nor does it not help them
