Of course if you knew that your disputant would only disagree with you when one of these three conditions clearly held, you would take their persistent disagreement as showing one of these conditions held, and then back off and stop disagreeing. So to apply these conditions you need the additional implicit condition that they do not believe that you could only disagree under one of these conditions.
