Hi,

Are you sure the main verb should be "agree" and not "argue" ?
I can't see the logic. In my book only argument brings the other person's point of view to light, not agreement.

Hi,

'Agree' is the right word here because it refers to people having the same opinion, apparently, as everybody else.
