His one visible mistake is not backing down when confronted with a different opinion and re-evaluating.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Facts are all opinions until researched and confirmed. If you have two people arguing, there is no “more right” or “wrong” because it’s just two voices against each other.
Your “facts” don’t exist until proved.

Facts exist outside of you. Facts are already confirmed/researched and we just call upon them in conversation.
If an argument is based around a fact, there is indeed a right and wrong side. The accuracy of your recall of a given fact is the meaure of rightness in the argument.

If you can’t empathize with someone not having all the information in a conversation and hence arguing from a place of incomplete information, you’re definitely not someone worth spending any amount of time with…

Somehow you’re the dumb asshole on two of the last two threads I read (the other one being about appropriate songs on a hiking trail). Impressive.

Oh wow, I had to scroll quite a way to find a comment that wasn’t in the negative.

You’re so fucking superficial that you can’t understand that people make mistakes, that goes for me and it goes for the guy being called a “red flag” on this post. Your levels of empathy would make Trump look kind. 🤡

Refusing to back down is the red flag, yes

Mistakes are fine, it’s how you handle them. Instead of saying, “huh, I’m not sure if you’re right or not; let’s look it up, or just move on” he decided to adamantly defend his (incorrect) position.
Kinda like what you’re doing! Hahey!
