Arguments and debates are good for finding out answers to problems when many people think bout the subject, debate the pros and cons and eventually (hopefully) come up with something new and useful.
Self-Arguing is productive when there is no one to talk to. You think of all the things that come to mind. wait a while then come up with other ideas, maybe ideas that are the opposite to what you originally thought. Its a good way to get a conclusion as well.
All the best from James Martin Sandbrook.
