I don't think it's just forgetfulness. I've had my mind changed by an argument. What has never happened is for my mind to be changed during an argument (barring cases where I can just look it up). Changing your mind takes some serious time and thought, as it should. It's not that I don't want to lose face admitting I'm wrong. It's that I don't feel like bringing it up again.
I agree it's not just forgetfulness and what you're saying probably happens more often. The situations I had in mind though cannot be explained your way.
I agree, but I think often most of that transformation happens subconsciously.
I think we should rather focus on changing people's minds than getting them to admit they're wrong.
