Well it's not the matter of convincing the other judge to give a certain rating. It's to discuss with each other about their ratings and consider the other judge's reasoning. You are not obliged to change after discussion since it is essentially your rating of the file.

I dislike the lack of communication between the judges because then there would be many controversial opinions about some files. I strongly believe that the process should reflect more teamwork than individualized judging.

Only my two cents.
