You can argue, or you can get back to doing what matters. Most of the time, you’re better off doing something productive than trying to change someone’s mind.

When you get into an argument, you enter another person’s world, and that world may not be a rational one. You’ll probably just end up frustrated.

Arguments also tend to lower our standards of communication. Raise the bar. Not in a pretentious way, but in a way that says, “We can do better.”
