I can. It's Holy Warrior Syndrome. The people with whom the Holy Warrior argues are a Satanic Evil Enemy. They must be shown no quarter. Further, any appearance of making a mistake before them is grounds for cognitive dissonance, a troubling anomaly. "HE wouldn't let me be embarrassed before them. There must be a way that this isn't happening."
The way it works out, no error no matter how trivial is ever admitted. Distractions are made. Misunderstandings are pretended. If all else fails, the Holy Warrior falls into glum silence.
