Except when I am right, I'm not going to stop arguing just because you don't want to change your mind.

This reminds me of my ex. Good times.

I understand much of the technology we use today isn't magic, but it may as well be with how much I understand about how it works.

I don't think you quite grasp what Arthur C Clarke was going for with this one.

Yeah, this one annoys me no end. Especially as its used when workplace safety is concerned far too often.

If I were wrong, you'd be able to convince me that I'm wrong. We can keep going until one of us accepts that we didn't have an accurate understanding of reality.

I had an ex like you.

Yeah, this basically sums up my experience as well. There's a real "I'm right, you're wrong, and we're going to keep at this until you agree with me" approach that some people have.

To be clear, Israel is far from blameless in this, you're quite right about that.
