A sure way of getting the last word in an argument is to say

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.

I feel obligated to point out, though, that I have always been a sucker for ideas I find aesthetically pleasing. The cosmic sweep of the thing - an interstellar kula chain - affirming the differences and at the same time emphasizing the similarities of all the intelligent races in the galaxy - tying them together, building common traditions...
