In matters of opinion, who has the last word?

I read somewhere that a famous person (can't remember who) used to end arguments with "You may be right". I've tried to adopt that and have found it very rewarding.

(I sincerely hope this is the right forum.)

I think a person is being open minded when they “give” something to the person they’re speaking with, acknowledging what they said is worth considering. We all want to feel heard, even if there is disagreement.

How about you've given me something to think about ?

I prefer to say that we will have to agree to disagree.
