No. I will calmly correct them, but if they don't remember what I remember even after I have reminded them, nothing I say will alter their memory of events. And anyway, I don't often find myself arguing about anything.

I wish this were the case for me. In most cases where I am arguing the point, it is because someone is being aggressively accusatory causing me to feel the need to defend myself with the facts.

Ahh, I'm afraid I can't much relate to this. I'm uninterested in any accusations people may make against me, negative or positive--their delusions don't harm me. It doesn't come up terribly often, however, since most people are not very aggressive to you when you do not respond in an aggressive or defensive (or submissive) fashion. They give up pretty quickly. I imagine trying to engage in aggressive interaction with a confident person of gentle demeanor is kind of like punching pudding. Probably not very satisfying.
