Just because you insist on something doesn't make you right.
There's a saying in panto, which is traditional in this country at this time of year: "OH YES, IT DOES!"
Actually, however, indeed, no, it doesn't.

Man (Michael Palin): An argument isn't just contradiction.______________________________
Mr. Vibrating (John Cleese): It can be.
Man: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
Mr. Vibrating: No it isn't.
Man: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
Mr. Vibrating: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
Man: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
Mr. Vibrating: Yes it is!
Man: No it isn't!
Man: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
(short pause)
Mr. Vibrating: No it isn't.
Man: It is.
Mr. Vibrating: Not at all.
Man: Now look!. (MONTY PYTHON: THE ARGUMENT CLINIC)
