Ah, but complex issues are rarely binary. No1 is fundamentally wrong or right. Dogmatic to assume POV is definitively right and disengage

If you've destroyed a person's argument with, say, a reductio ad absurdum, you can rest assured you've won the argument, and disengage. Continuing to debate beyond that point will only convince your foe they're still in the game, and they'll continue debating, wasting your time.
