I copied this from WritingExplained.org:
It is sometimes said that a person is convinced by an appeal to reason or logic and a person is persuaded by an appeal to feelings or emotions.
This is not necessarily true. Both convincing and persuading can be done through arguments and reason. As I said above, the key difference is between action and nonaction, not what is being appealed to.
But I do agree that "convincing" might be a better word choice seeing that it's not making the target do something, just changing their minds.
