No, i think the 2 main points of a conversation would be, makin your point clear, and keeping an open mind to the other persons opinion, so that the combination of those, can result into an interestin conversation that isnt bound by one way of thinkin.

Basic Structures
Turn-taking Organization
The nature by which a conversation is done in and through turns. Turn-taking is one of the fundamental organizations of conversation. According to CA, the turn-taking is one of three basic components out of which conversation is constructed. The other two components are: the turn-constructional component, that is, the basic units out of which turns are composed, and the "practice component," often called the "rule set" that is administered by parties in interaction. While CA does not explicitly claim that turn-taking is universal, as reasearch is conducted on more languages, it is possible that if there were any basis for a claim to universality in language, turn-taking is a good candidate. The turn-taking model for conversation was arrived at inductively through empirical investigation of field recordings of conversation and fitted to such observationally arrived at fact as overwhelmingly, participants in conversation talk one at a time.
Turn Constructional Component
The turn constructional component are the basic units out of which turns are fashioned. Unit types include: word/lexical item, clause/phrase, and sentence. Note that not all unit types may exist in all languages. Further, it is possible that there are units in other languages, such as particles in Asian languages, that may not exist in English.

i cant agree with that , a point of a conversation should be of interest to learn something not to feel better then anyone if we know something were talking about maybe excitement about a subject but never to make someone feel small because they may not know the answer .
