Oh, absolutely. This is why I don't like being in discussions with people who hold the same position as I do but for different reasons--saying that a particular argument in favor of our position is wrong sounds like arrogance and/or betrayal.
It was weird the first few times when I had a cluster of people agreeing with me, spent time there, and then started to collect counter arguments. People are better tested with disagreements, than just holding similar end-views. A belief held for the wrong reasons can easily be changed. It gets a bit weird when you start fixing your opponents arguments against your own position.
