Maybe the other person is a jerk and is on an obnoxious power trip at your expense. If you don’t get suspicious and (internally) angry you’re just setting yourself up as a victim.
Generic advice doesn’t apply everywhere. A default “nod and slowly back away” response isn’t bad but is not always useful.
Optimally, you’d be have an understanding of the options available, how you work internally, and how other people respond so you could choose the appropriate level of anger, etc. Thus it’s better to explore suggestions and see how they work than to naively apply them in all situations.
