Thanking someone for helping you become less wrong seems like it makes more sense than thanking someone for becoming less wrong.
It depends on who would be the one to suffer the consequences of your being wrong.
I agree, but it feels like I owe them, rather than the other way around.
Perhaps this indicates that you're thinking of the thing you currently believe as "your" position, and of persuading the other person as "winning" an argument. The present discussion aside, you might want to try to change that.
