I know it can be frustrating when you see yourself in the right and everybody else needs to be corrected, but people might genuinely see things differently.

They might also want the chance to step out of a debate and think without the pressure of responding to accusations. Sometimes it's better to do the same ourselves rather than resorting to unproductive confrontation. In the end, we're not on a deadline for the work we're involved with. It should also be fun and interesting: none of us are getting paid to be here.
