    When you’ve been shown facts that contradict your argument, concede politely. People will respect you for it. In fact they’ll probably respect you more than if you go down endless chains of trying to save face.

    Remember, this should go both ways. There will be times when people concede to you, and other times when you need to concede.

    I don’t think it needs to take very many people doing this to create a snowball effect where it becomes the common way to debate.
