Been mulling this over that past couple of days and need some different views on it.
Convincing seems to imply rightly that a person still has to accept it and choose to listen..Controlling seems to imply taking away the persons choice or discourage them from choosing what they want to do.
can we be controlled by convincing?
Also "convincing" can also be misleading in the end result if the person supplying the convincing information intentions wants to accomplish that. Misleading convincing information is viewed as a "victory" of sorts if the person succeeds in doing that.
It really sucks sometimes we have the abilty to keep secrets from others like God. IMO
