You replay the argument long after it ended. Lao Tzu taught the opposite: needing to be right drains you; whoever yields first cannot be moved.

Seven principles, told through the Zhuangzi's Cook Ding:
1. Not every push needs an answer
2. Let them have the last word
3. Correct no one who did not ask
4. Being right costs your peace
5. Find the gap, never the bone
6. Winning proves nothing
7. Whoever yields has no opponent

Begin today: yield one argument you would win.
