An 'argumentation' like the above is simply a killer phrase that ends 
every discussion.
OTOH, absence of valid argumentation doesn't necessarily mean that your 
statement has to be wrong.
I'm always willing to learn. Since you've also tried to correct me about 
constructive and polite behaviour - might I suggest that you add a few 
words about what is right in your opinion, when telling folks they are 
wrong? This would add to both, I guess.
