Do the authors argue that you need to seek out impossible conversations?

Flutlicht No, but you can see it like a guide for (e.g.) a politician who in his campaign is encountering many extremist viewpoints.

The book advises the reader how to deal with difficult people, who easily freak out, insult you or get aggressive during a conversation when you disagree with them.
My personal impression is that the authors did not write the book to encourage dialogue in society, but to equip professionals with the tools to avoid scandals or to react in the best possible way without losing their own temper/face etc.

Hope that helps.(less)
