you don't have a problem with stopping the argument. you have a problem with the desire to always be right. you're compensating for a lack of recognition in your skills and intelligence in real life.
accept that you will never get that recognition and you will stop needing to be right.
I know this, because I was this.
next time you see something that someone said is wrong, just high five them and move on.
Ouch that hits hard. I'm going to need some extra info on how to accept this.
for me it was accepting that my experience and opinions don't matter to an individual, but they can make a difference when shared for a solution to a problem that was expressed.
this whole chain is actually a really good example of this process in motion.
I'm not expressing my experience or opinion as the answer, but sharing my perspective instead. I'm not right, but my experience may help others solve their problem on their own.
