It is hard to continue, let alone win, an argument with someone who will not admit fault in reasoning or in action. Its exhausting. Its the one of the real secrets of the art of the deal. Double down, name call, blame others, argue by tangent, anything but admit youre wrong as that might lead to you having to abandon the comfort of your already established worldview.
