Summary
This quote highlights a manipulative strategy in arguments where the speaker asserts their own authority and claims to be right, in order to assert dominance and "win" the argument. It implies that by claiming one's own correctness conclusively, they can shut down any further opposing views or discussions, giving themselves the final word. However, it also suggests a certain level of intellectual disingenuity and insecurity, as true resolution and understanding in arguments usually involve open-mindedness and willingness to consider other perspectives.
