In philosophy some times there is no exact answers to those deep and elusive questions but I have to say it's not about "sounding right" or "being right", but mostly about being honest to yourself and others about your perspective and the answers you have arrived at so far because philosophy is an on going process.

In the 1930s, Austrian mathematician Godel proved a
theorem which became the "Godel theorem" in cognition
theory. It states that any formalized 'logical' system
in principle cannot be complete in itself. It means
that a statement can always be found that can be
neither disproved nor proved using the means of that
particular system. To discuss about such a statement,
one must go beyond that very logic system; otherwise
nothing but a vicious circle will result. Psychologist
say that any experience is contingent - it's opposite
is logically possible and hence should not be treated
as contradictory.
Only when a person transcends the limitations of logic
and reasoning, he will understand higher knowledge.

Unless it sounds right to the questioner, you can not get the Best answer rewards. In any case, the deep philosophical questions never have one right answer... and that is why Philosophy is so near to our life which too is so inconsistent and uncertain. In philosophy, you deal with the uncertainties and the inconsistencies rather than raise your eyebrows!!

In aswering philosophical questions you don't neccessary have to be right. It's all about your ability to convince your listeners to make them appreciate your points. So it's about sounding right. e.g A philosopher claimed that the world is made up of water,come to think of it ,it sounds right because underneath the earth you have water. Also two third of the land scape of the world is water.

The answering of philosophical questions is all in the asking of them.Some of them make absolutely no sense what so ever.So in a sense it's making sense out of something that should not or has not been mace sense of.Sounding right is the key.Being right is secondary.

That is what Philosophy is. I guess it is up to us what methodology we would like to adapt.
None of the Philosophers were all right, and none of them were all wrong. They all have their plus factors.

heh yeah you have a good point, but i think most people think they are saying stuff they believe is right, and yeah they are trying to make it sound as right as possible too, its hard to take the ego out of an argument, i can sometimes but not all the time, i really want to be right and sound smart and stuff, but i also really want to be honest and try to figure stuff out too, i think most people are like this

It's all about your motivation. If you are greedy then sounding right is everything. If you love the truth then being right is everything to you.

It's about comming up with and answer that makes people stop and think about something in a different way, then they were able to see before.
