A paralogy occurs in the discussion of two people with two different
opinions on the subject, topic, or issue. During the discussion, an
acceptance of the differing opinion is strived for to gain the most
essential understanding.
Example:
I disagree with your statements but I understand your templates at arriving
at this statement. I can accept the statement but disagree with it.
