Hey I have an actually relatable Real World Irk today!

If, after a discussion or argument, I change my mind or concede the other person's point I am not back-peddling. I am changing my mind. The entire point of speech is to convey information to another person, and the entire point of a discussion or argument is to educate the person you're conveying information to to change their mind.

That's not me back-peddling, that is me taking in new information and changing my mind. That's how it's supposed to work.

Nope.
You just fell into one of the greatest blunders of the internet.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DEFEND EVERY IDEA TO THE DEATH.
Even the wrong ones.
especially the wrong ones
