The way to tempt

In the first of Screwtape's letters, he instructs Wormwood not to attempt to win the patient's soul through argument, but rather by fixing his attention on "the stream of immediate sense experiences".
Why is immersion in particulars of "real life" ground for temptation?

When one directs focus on argument it can make people focus more on standing up for what they believe vocally and intellectually but if one wiles them unbeknownest to them with the everyday mundane things of life they don't really pay attention to what is happening to them.
