I'm not saying I like this, but I find it to be true:
You are only right if being moral and ethical is more important than actually effecting change. Experience turns people into straussians (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/stephen-harper-... (it's about the Canadian PM but has a wonderfully concise description of the Straussian philosophy)).
Basically you can try and teach the general public how to think so that you can then convince them with facts or you can just be better at spin. One is practically impossible, the other is always some level of evil.
