I always say 'maybe you're right' and then pause.
If they're looking for a fight they won't get one, if they're genuinely interested in a debate I find it often forces them to play devils advocate just to keep the conversation going- which is hilarious when they start making all your points for you, and you haven't uttered a word since the beginning of the argument.
Which, for a peace loving potato like myself is the ultimate goal really.
Of course I don't mind apologising either - strong proponent of rather be happy than have to be right.
Some people can't be happy unless they are right. I was at work and my coworker kept pointing out my "error". I showed her proof then she went to go ask other people who corrected her but she put the L on me. Then she came back to me acting like i'm still the one who made a mistake. I felt like slapping her but caught my petty feelings which I threw in the trash. I just stared at her and said nothing. It's exhausting.
