Unless the belief you’re arguing for is false. You checked that beforehand, right??
On further thought, I really need a few examples to understand the context of when this is happening to you. For me, it ONLY occurs in complicated enough issues that “true or false” is very hard to define or test rigorously, and it’s extremely likely that something like “directionally true” or “mostly correct” or even “preferable (to me, and I think many others) equilibrium” would be the right goalposts.
If it’s something you actually checked beforehand, you should just share that check and be done with it. No discussion or debate required.
