I don't know if that is usually an attempt to halt further conversation, as much as an attempt to shift the burden of evidence to the other party, but it sure seems to have the effect of closing down a line of argument. So it sounds like a distinct but related move.
Burden shifting language in general is almost always a sign either of two debaters having very different prior data or one or more of them being really irrational.
