You can go the extreme.

I am almost certain that God does not exist. However if the sky literally parted and an unfathomably large bearded man boomed out "I am God, the Protestant Christians were right all along, and now I'm going to rapture them all" and then all the Christians disappeared, I would be convinced that God exists.

Keep in mind that every benefit comes with a cost, and you have to decide whether it is worth it. Especially if your goal is simply to stop the itch so you can focus on other things that are important to you.

Close! This is a precious image. Go to a professional who does art reproduction (they create prints of quality/fine art, for instance). They'll use a large format camera, or similar quality, and can take a super detailed image of the original and the fix defects caused by age or water damage.

It'll cost you a bit more, but for something so precious It'll be worth having a really good quality reproduction!

Totally agree - and context is important, obviously. Asking someone if anything could change their mind is probably the last stop in the conversation.

I guess the approach I suggested requires the person you’re arguing with to have an understanding of different facets of the issue for them to be able to respond to the question adequately.
