I don't hold views if I think they're wrong. If I think I'm mistaken about something then I won't argue it.
You think other people don't feel that same way? Why would anyone hold a view they think is wrong? If someone says that a certain view is wrong, then quite obviously, they don't hold it.
Why would anyone argue something, if they felt they were mistaken? The whole point of arguing is because you think you are right and the other person is wrong. There is a place for some debate, but when it becomes clear you're not convincing anybody, it is time to fuck off and agree to disagree. You tend to press it to the point of, "Well clearly you are wrong because you suck at this, and I am quite good at it" or "You're wrong and only arrive at your point of view because you are suffering from denial".
Sometimes it is prudent to consider the possibility that you might just be wrong, or at the very least that your view isn't as water tight as you thought it was.
