If you feel you haven’t presented your argument properly, would you go back to discuss it with that person?
Absolutely nothing. If it turns out that I’m right, that’s great to know. Let them think they are right and somewhere along the way, they’ll figure out they were wrong in either a okay-way or in some disaster-way.

As soon as you’re in an argument it’s probably a waste of time.
Only continue if it matters to a real decision.
If it’s a real decision and you have reached the point of an argument then it might be better to try to propose experiments or tests to increase the evidence base and directly address the differences of opinion.
