I may disagree, but I can come to see the inner logic of a real person, to understand, and accept the point of view as a responsible, reliable part of how that person sees the world.

We know these are individual judgments, not the impersonal weighing of facts by unknown Decider(s) imposing absolute or impartial judgments- from the stars-- We know they aren't distanced and detached. I couldn't pretend to believe or feel comfortable with such disjunctive roles for people here.
