Generally when people argue, they argue by comparing the facts that they have. The person whose facts are more compelling wins the argument. An ignorant person does not know any facts. A person who argues with no facts argues with emotion or opinion based on nothing that can be checked or verified by the other side. It is not possible to argue against nothing (no facts.) So while a person who has no facts to bolster his argument can continue arguing, it is a fruitless argument; hence, you can't argue with ignorance. The ignorant person may walk away from an argument believing himself or herself to have won -- not because he or she had the better argument based on facts that could be checked by the other side - but because he or she used opinion or feelings to bolster his or her "argument."

What does huck mean when he says you cant teach a to argue?

When Huck says you can't teach a hog to argue, he is implying that some individuals or creatures are inherently incapable of engaging in rational discourse or debate. This reflects a broader theme in Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," suggesting that certain traits, such as stubbornness or ignorance, cannot be changed through education or persuasion. Essentially, it highlights the futility of trying to reason with those who are fundamentally resistant to new ideas or perspectives.
