Any tips on bailing out of an argument if you want to very nearly concede the whole thing without quite saying your opponent is right?
eg if you realise the whole conversation was a terrible mistake and you're totally unequipped to have the conversation, but still think you're right.
Should you just admit they're right for simplicity even if you're not quite convinced?
I think our conversation raised a lot of interesting points, I think all the interesting stuff has been said. How about we switch topics?
That works as a neutral "let's move on". I sort of want a feeling of conceding more (but not totally) though.
How about "I understand the points you're making, let me think more about them"..?
