11. It's for when neither party can change the other's mind. It's a way of

wrapping up the conversation, since neither of you will change your mind, and I'm not gonna waste my day arguing with you when it doesn't matter.

"The only time people say that is when they can't think of an argument or counterpoint that will change their opponent's mind," Some opponents WON'T change their mind, no matter what.

". . .that will prove them wrong," Not all issues can be classified 'right' and 'wrong', especially when it comes to opinions.

If you aren't willing to understand this, then we're just going to have to agree to disagree :P :hide:
