Truth is subjective, yeah? So an argument is just two people with different truths thinking that the other is an idiot. Neither, if they actually believe what they are arguing about will ever be convinced of the other's version of the truth in all it's intricacies. The only way to determine a winner in an argument is by setting down beforehand some sort of parameters for judging the strongest argument, like in debating. But these are artificial parameters and do not actually exist.

And any new insight or wisdom that one person "learns" from the other will just be filtered through their lens of perception and made to fit in with all of their standing beliefs and opinions.
