Does anyone ever win an argument over anything?[/QUOTE]One could define winning arguments in terms of Kudos, Ego inflation and changes of perception by others towards the participants.[/QUOTE]Actually I would say the winner of an argument is the one that grows the most as a result. If you remain the same after an argument, it was either a waste of time, or you had your mind shut.

The person that learns the most from an argument gets the most 'bang for their buck' as it were.

Thus, many percieved 'losers' are actually the winners who gain the most.
