Sure, though, in this case (in person conversation, friend I know well), it was clear it was a sincere, heartfelt argument rather than a tactical ploy.
If I'm stuck in arguments where I can't tell if my opponent is sincere, I tend to bow out.
I think permitting tactical incentives for my interlocutors to self-modify is a real cost, and worthy of careful consideration.
