If a person is biased about something and says something in favor of it, then this person's statement is automatically wrong.
There are 3 different things:
- The precise intention when something is said
- The background opinion of the person who says it
- The validity of what is said
If you say the person who does not agree your opinion, is never right, it means you value more someone's negative background opinion towards the idea, over the intention and even the validity of what is said.
The validity of what is said should come first (the one thing you are sure is true should have more value over the two other things that might be true or false). Bad idea otherwise in any case.
So if a person says something that you consider true or in favor of something you consider differently from him. He is right according to your own standards, period.
He might have a bad intention by saying this, but you can't know for sure, it's completely different, he is still right.
