The trouble is, if people don't experience the feeling of defeat, they don't tend to undergo proper relinquishment, and will revert back to the indefensible stronger position in time.
This is only an argument for pressing for defeat where it might actually work.
It sounds me like that is in direct contradiction to Stuart's statement. (I think he's right and you're wrong.) Do you agree that you were simply contradicting him, or were you making some kind of subtle middle ground that I'm not seeing?
I think that both behaviours are sometimes observed, and which is most likely depends on the kind of belief. Some beliefs you can drift away from as he observes, others you have to make a break with.
Thanks for your observation!
