Being a super-genius should come with a reverence and respect to your superior intellect, but I’ve found more often than not that it’s just resented and discounted as sorcery by opponents who don’t want to give in to your superior correctness. It’s super annoying.
My sister, bless her heart, recently leveled this idiotic accusation against me: “No one can argue with you, cuz you can make anything favor you”.
If you find yourself in a similar situation with someone whom has demonstrated correctness on an issue you find yourself emotionally compelled to wish they were less correct on: use a different rationalization than this.
If you say the other person has an unfair advantage of just making everything they say favor themselves, then you’ve basically just said you’re stupid. No one can make ME think they are right on any subject they talk about, I don’t know why you would be any different.
Of course anyone can argue anything, but not everyone can be factually, logically, and verifiably correct. If you really think that I spin things so I’m right about everything when I’m actually dead wrong or just misleading – then pinpoint it. Call me on it. expose me for being a total dip for brains and claim the victory that is rightfully yours…
If you can’t, then you’re either wrong, or too dumb to articulate why you are right. Neither of those is my problem.
