I'm open minded.  I may reply something like, "Tell me why you think an ant is bigger than an elephant."  It may be that he is a wise man, or merely a wise-guy . . .  Sometimes people have different beliefs because they are starting out with different assumptions or perhaps the person has information that I don't have.  There is usuallly a reason why people have different conclusions; I'd like to know why . . .

It depends on what his definition of "bigger" is
