Rhetoric is GENERALLY used to deceive and manipulate people. There is a true skill (hence a virtue) of being able to present ones argument well; but in the generality of cases this is done with no regard to the truth of the matter. This is the difference between Debate and Dialogue. Debate is a rhetoric-based competition to win the argument. Dialogue is a cooperative conversation which attempts rigour and aspires to disclose truth.
