        I am clearly not like this. I would concede when I'm wrong, but I'm never wrong.

          Whichever side has me on it wins, by definition.
          Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

              Which would only be valid if what you just said is true, which it patently is not.

                          I've had a debate like this with Kucidude a few days ago, and he actually argued that a proposition that violates one or more axioms in its system was not contradictory.

                            Actually, I had once a purely theoretical discussion with Kuci (as we exposed our ideal socio-economic models), and it was an interesting discussion, even though it didn't change our minds one notch.
