This dynamic reminds me of arguments-as-soldiers from The Scout Mindset. If people are used to wielding arguments as soldiers on themselves then it seems relatively easy to extend those patterns to reasoning with others.
Testing this hypothesis seems tricky. One avenue is “people with more internal conflicts are more predisposed to the soldier mindset”. I can see a couple ways in-model for this to be untrue though.
