QQC - Foss and Griffin "Invitational Rhetoric"

Quote: " Invitational rhetoric constitutes an invitation to the audience to enter the rhetor's world and see it as the rhetor does. In presenting a particular perspective, the invitational rhetor does not judge or denigrate others' perspectives but is open to and tries to appreciate and validate those perspectives, even if they differ dramatically from the rhetor's own."

Question: Personally I agree with and find the definition of "invitational rhetoric" to be good and just, but do you see any situations where this take on rhetoric could be problematic?
