True. Nevertheless, it's not very useful to be right if the person who's wrong can't get your point.
ETA: As freyley points out, no goal was specified explicitly, so "useful" is ambiguous in the above sentence. Good catch!
That depends on whether you're making the point for the sake of the person who's wrong, or other readers.
