I would make the argument that it depends more on the rationality of the person receiving the argument then what the argument is about.
A rational person is capable and willing to change their mind when new evidence is offered.
A irrational person may easily change their mind on some topics with no evidence and never change their mind on other topics(politics/religion/etc) even with the best evidence.
